KEEPING IT CLEAN Despite placing second in the league in fouls committed (81) and ranking first in cautions (14 yellow cards), the Thorns FC defensive back line has steered clear of trouble. Rookie defender Kathryn Williamson hasn’t been called for a foul since the 83rd minute of a 1-1 draw with FC Kansas City on April 13. Williamson was booked for the infraction, but hasn’t drawn the referee’s ire for 727 consective minutes. In nine matches, the Thorns FC back line has committed 19 fouls which accounts for just 23.5 percent of all fouls committed by the team.
ON FRAME Among league leaders in shots on goal, Alex Morgan ranks second to only Abby Wambach in percent of shots on goal. Wambach has put 12 of her 18 shots on goal (67 percent), while Morgan has put 21 of 33 on goal (64 percent). Thorns FC forward Christine Sinclair has managed to send 11 of her 26 shots on frame (42 percent).
MATCH DAY PREVIEW Thursday’s match marks the second meeting between Portland Thorns FC and FC Kansas City. The game is the second of three straight home matches for Thorns FC and is the first of three consecutive road games in eight days for FC Kansas City. Thorns FC are coming off a 2-0 loss against the Chicago Red Stars on June 1 at JELD-WEN Field. Playing without all four national team players (Alex Morgan, Rachel Buehler, Christine Sinclair, Karina LeBlanc), Thorns FC saw all four shots on goal saved by Red Stars goalkeeper Taylor Vancil in the team’s second loss in nine games. FC Kansas City suffered a 1-0 home loss against league-leading Sky Blue FC on May 25 and did not play over the weekend.
LAST TIME AGAINST FC KANSAS CITY FC Kansas City and Portland Thorns FC squared off in the first-ever match in National Women’s Soccer League history on April 13 in front of a sellout crowd of 6,784 at Verizon Wireless Field at Shawnee Mission District Stadium. FC Kansas City forward Renae Cuéllar put the home side ahead just three minutes into the match, latching onto a long ball from defender Leigh Ann Robinson and splitting the Thorns FC defense for the opening goal. Thorns FC substitute forward Danielle Foxhoven was fouled in the penalty box in the 66th minute, setting up teammate Christine Sinclair for the game-tying penalty kick in the 67th minute.

HEAD COACH CINDY PARLOW CONE A 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 history 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.

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.
