Angel City opened the scoring in the ninth minute as McCaskill headed in a cross from Jasmyne Spencer. Portland’s Morgan Weaver scored the equalizer in the 44th minute with a piece of individual excellence, curling a shot from 20 yards out by the outstretched arms of Anderson.Tweed credited goalkeeping coach Dan Ball for his work with Anderson.
“When we drafted her, we knew she was an incredible talent,” Tweed said. “We thought she needed to be in a professional environment.
