Smith plays for the Portland Thorns after missing last season for the birth of her daughter

Sophia Wilson played in her first match for the Portland Thorns on Friday night since taking maternity leave last season for the birth of her daughter. Wilson, who won a gold medal for the United States at the Paris Olympics, came in as a substitute in the 75th minute of Portland's preseason match against Liga MX club Monterrey. Wilson came close to scoring in the 86th minute, but her shot when just wide.
