Sophia Smith had a goal and three assists and the Portland Thorns defeated their Pacific Northwest rivals the Seattle Reign 4-0 on Saturday night in the National Women’s Soccer League.
Smith now has a league-high eight goals and five assists and became the youngest player to score 40 NWSL goals as Portland (5-3-1) won a club-record fifth straight game.
Olivia Moultrie opened the scoring in the 41st minute at Providence Park in Portland. A Thorns goal kick was flicked to Smith, who dribbled forward before cutting the ball back to Moultrie at the top of the box. The midfielder finished into the left corner with her first touch.
The Reign (2-6-1) responded with several threatening plays, but goalkeeper Shelby Hogan had a big stop and defender Kelli Hubly made a goal-line clearance
The Thorns scored three more goals late in the second half.
