PORTLAND, Ore. (June 5, 2025) – Portland Thorns FC had 10 players called up to represent their countries in the May/June 2025 FIFA Women’s International Window, contributing to game-changing moments across the globe and strengthening their development alongside national teammates.  

A full breakdown for each Thorns player and the matches their country played can be found down below. 

For the U.S., midfield duo Sam Coffey and Olivia Moultrie made appearances for the senior USWNT in their matches against China and Jamaica with Coffey scoring her second career international goal against China. Caiya Hanks featured twice for the U-23 USWNT in their away matches against the German U-23’s that saw both countries walk away with a victory each.  

Other international Thorns goal scorers include forward Deyna Castellanos (Venezuela) and defender Kaitlyn Torpey (Australia), each finding the back of the net on one occasion for their respective countries. Australia won both its games against Argentina while Venezuela split its series against New Zealand with a win a piece.  

Midfielder Jessie Fleming and forward Mimi Alidou reunited with Canada to lead their country to two dominant wins against Haiti. While once again donning the captain’s armband for Canada, Fleming bagged two assists in the second contest against Haiti. To close out Concacaf internationals, defender Reyna Reyes and Mexico drew then won their friendlies against Uruguay, with Reyes playing the full match in the first contest.  

Defender Isabella Obaze played the entire match for Denmark in an important 1-0 win against Wales in the 2025 UEFA Women’s Nations League, but a loss to Sweden now sees the Danes ready to defend their position in League A during the promotion/relegation playoffs later this year.  

To wrap up the International Report, midfielder Hina Sugita returned to the Japanese National Team for their matches against Brazil, coming off the bench on both occasions.

PORTLAND, Ore. (Saturday, August 15, 2026) – The Portland Thorns continued their impressive home form with a 2-1 win over Orlando Pride on Saturday when forward Caiya Hanks — who was making her return to the pitch after missing action for over a year with an ACL injury — scored a stoppage time winner to secure three points for the home side.

Both sides battled back and forth as they tried to search for the opening goal, with Thorns goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold making three saves to ensure the match remained level going into the halftime break.
‍
The Thorns came out into the second half much more threatening in Orlando’s half and finally broke the deadlock in the 58^th minute when forward Pietra Tordin laid the ball off to forward Deyna Castellanos, who from the top right corner of Orlando’s box placed the ball perfectly into the top left corner of the goal over the hands of Orlando goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse.

The lead was short lived however when Arnold’s diving save to punch out a crossed ball in the 63^rd minute ricocheted off the knees of Orlando forward Jacqueline Ovalle and rolled into the net to level things back up.

From there, Portland and Orlando continued in their fight to search for a second and despite several good looks at goal, the match remained level.

That would all change after Hanks — who subbed on in the 88^th minute — curled the ball into the goal from outside the box in the 96^th to send Providence Park into a frenzy as the Thorns secured three points and extended its home unbeaten streak to 12 matches, nine on the season.

UP NEXT: The Portland Thorns host Denver Summit FC for the first time at Providence Park on Saturday, August 22. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:45 pm PT on ION and 910 ESPN Portland. Purchase tickets for the match HERE.
