NWSL<\/span> They ended their season with a 3-1 victory over the first-place Portland Thorns on Friday night. <\/p>\nEmma Sears also scored for Louisville (2-5-1), which ended its losing streak at two with the home win. <\/p>\n
The Thorns (6-2-1) got a goal in the sixth minute from Sophia Wilson, who outscored defender Allyn Wright. Wilson has three goals in four games. <\/p>\n

Sears added another goal in stoppage time. She did not start against Louisville, but came on as a substitute in the 66th minute. <\/p>\n
Banda scores his 8th goal, leading the league.<\/h2>\n
Barbra Banda scored her league-leading eighth goal of the season and the Orlando Pride defeated North Carolina Courage 1-0 at home. <\/p>\n
Banda scored a goal that bounced off the far post in the 87th minute, ending Orlando (3-2-3)’s losing streak at two. <\/p>\n
The game was undecided in the first half due to pouring rain. The weather improved in the second half as the Pride increased the pressure. <\/p>\n
In the 61st minute, Marta received a pass from Banda, but Courage goalkeeper Kylen Sheridan put out a hand and parried it wide. <\/p>\n
Courage (2-4-2) is winless for the third year in a row.<\/p>\n
