PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland Thorns FC announced today that game time for Saturday’s National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) match against Seattle Reign FC at Providence Park has been changed to 4 p.m. (Pacific).

Originally scheduled for 7 p.m., the time has been moved up to avoid conflicts with Game 3 of the NBA Western Conference Semifinals between the Portland Trail Blazers and San Antonio Spurs, a game also played in Portland. The Trail Blazers and Spurs are set to tip-off at 7:30 p.m., and today’s announcement was made to allow fans the option to attend or watch both games.

Gates open at 3 p.m. for Saturday’s game against Reign FC.

All originally issued tickets for Saturday’s match will be honored for the new time. Fans who have conflicts arise from the time change are asked to contact their individual ticket representative or the Thorns FC ticket department at (503) 553-5555, starting Monday, May 12.  

Both Thorns FC (2-0-2, 8pts) and Reign FC (5-0-0, 15pts) enter Saturday’s game undefeated thus far in the 2014 season.

Saturday’s match also will be carried live via high-definition webstream at www.portlandthornsfc.com.
