150

Forward Christine Sinclair’s next match will be the 150th of her NWSL career. Sinclair would become the ninth player in league history to reach this milestone, and just the fourth player to play 150 matches with the same team (Sinclair, Lauren Barnes, Jess Fishlock, Tori Huster).

86%

Midfielder Sam Coffey and defender Meaghan Nally each have an 86% passing accuracy rate this season, higher than any other players in NWSL that have made six or more appearances in the 2022 campaign.

Portland’s 3-0 win over Angel City on June 3 was the team’s league-leading second win this season by three or more goals. It was also the club’s 19th all-time regular season win by at least three goals, one more than the OL Reign and North Carolina Courage for most such wins in NWSL history.
