PORTLAND (AP) — Reyna Reyes scored early in the first half and the Portland Thorns held on for a 1-0 victory over the Orlando Pride on Saturday in the National Women's Soccer League. It was just the second loss of the season for the Pride (5-0-2), last season's NWSL champions. Portland (3-3-2) remained undefeated at Providence Park this season with two wins and three draws. The Thorns haven't lost at home since October last year, when they fell 2-0 to the Pride.
