"The outstretched glove of Thorns goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold prevented Alyssa Malonson from giving Bay FC a 2-0 lead from 11 yards out in the 39th. Moultrie got the Thorns level in the 51st with a low shot past Bay goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz. The 20-year-old Thorns midfielder then deftly curled a direct free-kick around the Bay wall and just inside the post to make it 2-1 in the 69th."
"I thought we played some really good football out there and I told the team, you played well enough to win this game, said Bay FC coach Albertin Montoya. We came into a hostile environment, a packed stadium which is difficult to play in here in Portland, but we came out in that first half fired up and played so well, and throughout the entire game we created opportunities."
Olivia Moultrie scored twice to lift the Portland Thorns to a 2-1 comeback victory over Bay FC. Bay FC opened the scoring with Taylor Huff's 36th-minute goal.
