NATIONAL WOMEN’S SOCCER LEAGUE CHALLENGE CUP
Portland Thorns move on to semifinals
HERRIMAN, Utah (AP) — Rookie
Morgan Weaver scored in the 68th
minute to send the Portland Thorns into
the semifi nals of the National Women’s
Soccer League’s Challenge Cup with
a surprising 1-0 upset victory over the
two-time defending league champion
North Carolina Courage on Friday.
The win was eighth-seeded Portland’s
fi rst victory at the tournament, and it
came with the team’s third-string goal-
keeper Britt Eckerstrom in goal. The
top-seeded Courage had won all four of
their Challenge Cup games going into
the match.
Eckerstrom had a stunning game,
fi nishing with eight saves.
Weaver took a cross from Raquel
Rodriguez and beat Courage goal-
keeper Katelyn Rowland, putting North
Carolina behind for the fi rst time in the
tournament.
It was the fi rst professional goal for
Weaver, who was the No. 2 pick in this
year’s NWSL draft out of Washington
State.
Portland was hampered by injuries
going into the game. Starting goalkeep-
er Adrianna Franch hasn’t played in
the tournament because of a right knee
injury. Backup Bella Bixby, who played
in the fi rst four games, was ruled out for
Friday’s game because of a knee injury
Portland’s backup for the game was
goalkeeper coach Nadine Angerer, the
former German national team standout.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Jeremy Ebobisse
and Diego Valeri scored and the Portland Timbers
clinched a spot in the knockout round of the MLS is Back
tournament with a 2-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo
on Saturday night.
With a pair of wins to open the World Cup-style
tournament, the Timbers have secured one of the top two
spots in Group F going into Thursday’s match against the
Los Angeles Football Club.
“It feels good to win. Our fi rst goal was to reach the
knockout stage,” Portland coach Giovanni Savarese said.
“At the beginning, we were too conservative and made
sure we had enough numbers to cover but once we had
players going forward we were able to take more chances.
We were able to control the match the majority of the
time.”
Alberth Ellis scored on a penalty kick for the Dynamo,
who have one point through two matches. They would
need a win over the LA Galaxy on Thursday to have any
hope of advancing.
Valeri’s score in the 61st minute not only gave the
Timbers breathing room, but puts him one goal away
from becoming the third player in MLS history to record
80-plus goals and 80-plus assists in their career during
the regular season.
Valeri took a crossing pass from Eryk Williamson at
the top of the box, shook off pressure from Houston’s Aljaz
Struna and placed a left-footed shot into the bottom right
corner. It is the Argentine’s third goal of the season.
The Dynamo pulled within a goal in the 86th minute
when Elis converted a penalty kick, which was awarded
after Portland’s Jorge Villafaña was called for a handball
in the box. Ellis received his second yellow card of the
match two minutes later as Houston played a man down
the remainder of the match.
Portland opened the scoring in the 35th minute when
Sebastian Blanco split the midfi eld in transition and
lofted a pass to Ebobisse to the left side of the box. The
Timbers forward then beat two Houston defenders and
fi red a left-foot strike that eluded Houston goalkeeper
Marko Maric and found the bottom right corner.
It is Ebobisse’s second goal in the tournament and his
second in fi ve career matches against Houston.
