OPB inadvertently published outdated National Women’s Soccer League results over the weekend of Sept. 19, 2026, and has removed that outdated story from circulation. The correct story is below. OPB regrets the error.

Sophia Wilson tallied a goal and two assists in her 100th NWSL regular-season appearance, leading the Thorns (12-7-6) to a decisive road win Saturday over Orlando that snapped a three-match winless streak.

In the third minute, Wilson drove toward the endline and laid it off at the top of the box to Nina Nijstad, who calmly finished for the 1-0 lead — the first NWSL goal for the Dutch international. Then, Thorns forward Caiya Hanks drew a foul on Oihane Hernández in the 27th minute, and Wilson converted the penalty kick to double the lead.

Orlando midfielder Ally Lemos scored her first NWSL goal on a long-range strike that trimmed the lead to 2-1 in the 30th minute, but Morgan Weaver answered with a shot from well outside the box in the 74th minute made it 3-1.

It was Weaver’s first goal since Nov. 1, 2024, after missing last season with injury.

Wilson delivered her second assist in the 88th minute to Renee Lyles for the final margin.

It was interim head coach Yolanda Thomas’ first loss since taking over the Pride (9-13-3).
