Description
M.A. Vignola and Mallie McKenzie each scored and the Thorns broke the NWSL record for shutout minutes at home with a 2-0 victory over Bay FC on Wednesday night.
The Thorns passed the regular-season record of 568 minutes without allowing a goal in the 64th minute of the match at Providence Park.
In the 30th minute, Vignola struck a first-time volley from outside the box. Bay (3-4-2) looked to clear the ball after Portland’s corner kick attempt but Vignola ran onto the ball and fired the shot right back.
McKenzie added the Thorns second score off a cross from Sophia Wilson in the 77th minute, marking her first career NWSL goal.
The last goal Portland allowed at Providence Park was on Oct. 4, 2025, also against Bay FC.
With the win Wednesday night, the Thorns (7-2-2) now hold the No. 1 spot in the league standings, jumping the San Diego Wave by one point.
