MATCH DAY PREVIEWWednesday’s match, presented by Alaska Airlines, marks the third regular-sea-son meeting between Portland Thorns FC and Sky Blue FC this year. Thorns FC have recorded an 0-1-1 mark against Sky Blue FC this season, most recently coming away with a scoreless draw on June 22 at Yurcak Field in Piscataway, N.J. Unbeaten in three straight games, Thorns FC is in the midst of a stretch of three home games in eight days, culminating with the regular-season home finale on Sunday against FC Kansas City.

Sky Blue FC enters Wednesday’s match winless in three straight games following a 1-0 loss to top-ranked FC Kansas City on Sunday at Yurcak Field. Wednesday marks Sky Blue FC’s second trip to the Rose City this season, earning a 1-0 win on May 16 at JELD-WEN Field. Substitute midfielder Taylor Lytle tallied the game-winning goal in the 80th minute in the match. Only one of Sky Blue FC’s last four games is against a team (Portland) in the playoff picture.

HOLDING A LEADThorns FC have yet to concede defeat when scoring first in a match this season. Portland is 8-0-1 when scoring first and 8-0-1 when scoring two or more goals. Thorns FC conceded their first draw after taking the lead when the Chicago Red Stars overcame a 3-1 deficit for a 3-3 draw against Portland at JELD-WEN Field on July 28.

SCORING STREAKRookie midfielder Meleana Shim became the first Thorns FC player to record a goal in three consecutive matches this season with her a goal against Chicago on July 28. Shim, who has scored four goals this year, tallied the game-tying goal against the Western New York Flash on July 14 and the game-winning goal on July 21 against Boston. Forwards Alex Morgan (May 4-12), Christine Sinclair (May 19-25) and Danielle Foxhoven (June 6-16) have scored goals in back-to-back matches this year.

LAST MATCH VS. SKY BLUE FCGoalkeeper Karina LeBlanc made a season-high seven saves, including two in second-half stoppage time as Portland Thorns FC played to a scoreless draw against Sky Blue FC before 3,002 fans at Yurcak Field in Piscataway, N.J., on June 22. The result extended the club’s road record to 4-0-2. With the draw, Portland registered its second consecutive shutout, marking the second time this year that Thorns FC have earned back-to-back clean sheets. Forward Tiffany Weimer registered a team-high four shots (3 on goal). Weimer saw a chipped effort to the far post glide just wide in the 19th minute. Forward Alex Morgan attempted three shots, hitting the side netting after rounding Sky Blue FC goalkeeper Brittany Cameron in the 17th minute. LeBlanc put in a produc-tive 90 minutes of work on the defensive end, making four saves in the first half and coming up with consecutive saves in second-half stoppage time to keep the clean sheet. LeBlanc earned NWSL Player of the Week honors for her performance in goal against Sky Blue FC.

SKY BLUE FC AT PORTLAND THORNS FCWEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 2013

CATEGORICAL WON-LOST-TIED HEAD COACH CINDY PARLOW CONEA U.S. Women’s National Team veteran and two-time Olympic gold medalist, Cindy Parlow Cone leads Portland Thorns FC into their inaugural National Women’s Soccer League season in 2013. She was appointed the first head coach in the club’s his-tory on Dec. 19, 2012.

One of the all-time leading goal scorers in U.S. Women’s National Team history, Cone’s playing career included a nine-year stint with the national team, a championship in the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup and gold medals at the 1996 and 2004 Olympic Games. She is the youngest player ever to win both an Olympic gold medal and a World Cup title. Due to post-concussion syndrome, she retired from the national team in 2004 with 75 goals and 35 assists in 158 appearances.

A native of Memphis, Tenn., Cone, 35, spent the last six years as the assistant coach for her alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 2007-12. She helped guide the team to national championship-winning seasons in 2008, 2009 and 2012.

In addition to coaching at UNC, Cindy also served as the director of coaching for senior girls programs (U-15 to U-18) at Triangle United Soccer Association in Chapel Hill, N.C., and has been a member of the U.S. U-14 and U-15 Girls National Team coaching staffs since 2010. She holds a USSF “A” License and was the only female coach to participate in the FIFA Futuro III course.

Cone, a forward, began her international career with the U.S. Women’s National Team in 1996, scoring twice in her debut and contributing to an 8-1 win over Russia on Jan.14, 1996. She was named the U.S. Soccer Young Female Athlete of the Year in 1998 and was a starting forward on the highly recognized United States squad for the 1999 Women’s World Cup, scoring two goals in the tournament. The 1999 U.S. Women’s National Team was named Sports Illustrated’s 1999 Athlete of the Year.

Additionally, Cone helped the U.S. Women’s National Team to a third-place finish in the 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup, playing in the semifinal match against Germany held at JELD-WEN Field (then PGE Park), and a silver medal in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. She, along with the other members of the 1996 Olympic team, was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 2004.

Cone played in Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) for three seasons with the Atlanta Beat from 2001-03, leading the team to the postseason each season.

At North Carolina, Cone recorded 68 goals and 53 assists during her collegiate career from 1995-98, and is one of 10 players in the program’s history to record 40 or more goals and assists in a career. She was a four-time All-American, won the Hermann Trophy in 1997 and 1998 as the nation’s top player, was an four-time Academic All-American, and led the Tar Heels to back-to-back national titles in 1996 and 1997.

THORNS FC DRAW 3-3 AGAINST CHICAGO

Forward Christine Sinclair scored two goals and midfielder Mana Shim tallied her third goal in as many games, but Thorns FC conceded two goals in the final 15 minutes in a 3-3 draw against the Chicago Red Stars on Sunday before 12,534 fans at JELD-WEN Field. Midfielder Tobin Heath recorded two assists, one on a clever free kick to Sinclair for the game’s opening goal in the 23rd minute. Taking a 3-1 lead into the 75th minute, Chicago’s Alyssa Mautz tallied on a header off a pass from defender Rachel Quon and midfielder Julianne Sitch provided the game-tying goal in the 86th minute, finishing a loose ball in the penalty box.

OFFENSIVE AWAKENINGThorns FC have registered six goals in their last three games, which equals the team’s season-high goal-scoring total for any three-game stretch this season.

Forward Alex Morgan has tallied an assist in con-secutive games, become the first Thorns FC player to accomplish that feat and midfielder Mana Shim has scored a goal in three straight games.

RELIABLE DEFENSIVE CORPSThrough 17 games this season, Portland’s back line of Nikki Marshall, Rachel Buehler, Kat Williamson and Marian Dougherty have proved to be a reliable group. Marshall and Williamson have started all 17 games, with Williamson (a rookie) playing every minute of every game this season (1,530). Marshall ranks third on the team in minutes played. Buehler has missed two matches, both for interna-tional duty, while Dougherty missed two games (one due to her sister’s wedding).

SUPER SUBThorns FC forward Danielle Foxhoven ranks fourth on the team in scoring with three goals this season, all of which have come as a second-half substitute. Foxhoven, who scored in the 48th minute of a 4-3 win against FC Kansas City on June 6 as a halftime sub, has appeared in 16 of the team’s 17 games - 13 times off the bench.
