For the first time in club history, the Thorns have drawn three games straight, and it’s not good that every single one of those draws felt like a success. With so many injuries, including Allie Long now, it’s hard for the Thorns to earn their points. And yet, every time in the last three games, the team have shown their metal as they have clawed their way back from goal deficits (against Seattle and Boston), or maintained a clean sheet despite pressure (against Kansas). Although all three things that contributed to Thorns success in 2016, namely set pieces, midfield and backline, are all suffering, the team has managed to weather the storm and continue getting points.
