HEAD COACH MARK PARSONS The 2017 season marks Parsons second season as head coach of Portland Thorns FC. Parsons was named head coach on Oct. 5, 2015, coming to Portland following two full seasons as the head coach for the NWSL’s Washington Spirit. The 2016 NWSL Coach of the Year in his first season with Thorns FC, Parsons led Portland to its first-ever NWSL Shield. Parsons and Thorns FC established new club records for wins (12) and points (41), finishing the season with a 12-3-5 record as they hosted the club’s first-ever home playoff game. In addition, Portland registered the best home record (8-1-1) and best road record (4-2-4) in the league, while beginning the season with the second-longest unbeaten streak in NWSL history (12 games). Parsons oversaw a defensive unit that became just the third team in league history to allow less than a goal per game over the course of an entire season (19 goals in 20 games, 0.95 goals-against average) and offensively the team ranked second in the league in goals (35) and tied for second in assists (23). The former head coach and general manager of the Washington Spirit of the NWSL, Parsons, 30, helped guide the Spirit to consecutive league playoff appearances during the 2014 and 2015 seasons, posting a record of 18-15-11 in his two full seasons as head coach for the club. Assuming the role of head coach in July 2013 and general manger in September 2013, Parsons helped engineer one of the most successful turnarounds in league history as the Spirit went on to a 10-win season and secured a berth in the league playoffs in 2014 after winning just three games the previous season. Under Parsons’ guidance in 2015, the Spirit ranked among the top three teams in the league in goals scored (31), while forward Crystal Dunn was named league MVP. In addition, the Spirit Reserves won the W-League Championship, the U20s were national finalists and five Super Y Academy teams were also national finalists with Parsons at the helm as general manager. As the head coach of the Spirit Reserves in 2013, Parsons led the team to a third-place finish at the National Championships, while also helping launch the club’s academy programs. In 2012, Parsons helped guide the D.C. United Women U20s to the National Championship match, earning a runner-up finish. Before his arrival in the United States, Parsons was with Chelsea FC from 2004-10, working with both the girls and boys academies during his tenure, while also serving as the head coach for the Chelsea Ladies Reserves from 2008-10. During the 2008-09 campaign, the Reserves won the League Cup, the County Cup and the League Title for the first time in history. As an assistant coach with the U16 Girls Academy, Parsons helped lead the team to an academy championship in 2007. The Cranleigh, Surrey, native holds UEFA A and B Licenses, a US Youth Soccer National Youth License and US Soccer B License. Parsons resides in Beaverton with his wife Hannah and his daughter Edie (3).

2016 SEASON IN REVIEW Thorns FC (12-3-5, 41pts) capped the 2016 regular season by claiming their first NWSL Shield after finishing the season with the best record in the league. Portland concluded the regular season on a four-game winning streak, finishing with the best home record (8-1-1) and the best road winning percentage record (4-2-4, .600) in the league. Additionally, Thorns FC set a new club record for the most wins (12) and points (41) in a single campaign. Portland started the 2016 campaign on a 12-game unbeaten run, the second-longest run in league history behind the 16 straight games by Seattle Reign FC in 2016. Tobin Heath set a new NWSL record for the most assists in a single season (10). Offensively, Portland ranked second in the league in goals scored (35) and tied for second in assists (23). In his first season with the club, head coach Mark Parsons was named NWSL Coach of the Year, while Heath, Allie Long and Emily Menges were all named NWSL Best XI. Thorns FC returned to the NWSL playoffs for the first time since 2014 and hosted their first-ever playoff game at Providence Park, falling in extra time 4-3 to eventual NWSL champion the Western New York Flash. Heading into 2017, Portland returns 18 players from its 2016 roster, including 10 of its 11 starters that featured in the 2016 NWSL playoff semifinal match.

HOLDING DOWN THE MIDFIELD In week one, Allie Long was tied for the most tackles (5) with Seattle’s Beverly Yanez. Long also had a passing accuracy of 94.34 percent (50 of 53). That’s the highest percentage of any player who attempted 25 or more passes, according to Opta.

SERIES HISTORY Saturday’s match marks the first official meeting between Portland and North Carolina, however the two teams did square off previously when the club was the Western New York Flash. Thorns FC won both regular-seasonmeetings against the Flash in 2016, while Western New York edged Portland in the semifinal of the 2016 NWSL playoffs in a 4-3 extra-time thriller at Providence Park. In addition, Portland scored at least two goals in each of the three meetings last season and has won four of the last five regular-season meetings.

DEFENSIVE STALWARTS Portland became just the third team in league history to finish the season with a goals-against average of less than one goal per game in 2016, conceding just 19 goals in 20 regular-season games. Thorns FC finished the season with seven shutouts - tied for the most in a single season in team history. Notably, Portland conceded 0 or 1 goal in 16 of its 20 matches.

STRONG SECOND HALF Portland consistently put together strong second half performances both in the attack and on defense in the second half of matches in 2016. Thorns FC scored the most goals of any team in the league (22) and were tied for the second fewest goals conceded (12), behind only the Chicago Red Stars (11) in the second half. In addition, 12 of Portland’s 35 goals came in the final 15 minutes.

SCORING OPTIONS ON TARGET According to Opta, Portland led the NWSL in both shot conversion (19.0%) and shooting accuracy (54.0%) in 2016. Thorns FC’s shot conversion rate was nearly five percent better than the second best team in the league (Seattle - 15.3%). Among players in the league that attempted at least 20 shots, Christine Sinclair registered the best shooting accuracy in the NWSL (70.59 %), while Lindsey Horan ranked 5th (30 shots - 61.54 %).

Thorns FC return their five top goal scorers from 2016: Nadia Nadim (9), Allie Long (6), Christine Sinclair (6), Dagny Brynjarsdottir (5), Lindsey Horan (5). Among the 10 teams in the NWSL, Portland was the only team that had more than three players score five or more goals. No other team had more than three players tally five or more goals in 2016. Three of Thorns FC top goal scorers in 2016 rank among the top ten all-time in NWSL history in goals scored: Long (3rd - 28), Sinclair (t6th - 24) and Nadim (t8th-23).
