Portland Thorns news and updates: Olivia Moultrie earns first SheBelieves Cup call-up, Soph Wilson, Cassandra Bogere reports, and NRIs

Liv's time to shine

Today, Emma Hayes and the U.S. Soccer dropped the SheBelieves Cup roster with one familiar name: Olivia Moultrie.

This is the first SBC tournament call-up for the midfielder.

She has already earned 13 appearances for the USWNT and has been a mainstay over the past year.

Soph Wilson mentioned at NWSL Media Day that she was hopeful to receive minutes at the SheBelieves Cup, but is not listed on the roster.

This should not be a surprise as she is still in the return to play protocol.

Interim head coach Sarah Lowdon even mentioned she was ahead of schedule and already in team trainings. Wilson is also 'on track' for opening day.

The Arrival

According to a team source, Cassandra Bogere has reported and just finished up her first training session with the Portland Thorns, today.

It would be a surprise if she played in the final Coachella Valley Invitational tune-up against Houston Dash. More likely, the first time folks will be able to see her will be against Liga MX Femenil’s C.F. Monterrey for a preseason match March 6 at Providence Park.

The midfielder was signed on January 29 via a transfer from SK Brann Kvinner of the Toppserien - Norway’s top league.

Lowdon mentioned her as a player who is young, but one with a high ceiling.

It'll be interesting to see where she slots in the midfield, especially with the logjam at the 10 and need at the six.

NRIs (Non-Roster Invitee)

One of the few bright spots from the CVI preseason opener were the NRIs who came out with energy and something to prove as they all try to make the final roster.

Here are the current NRIs on the roster and players to keep an eye out for preseason.

Renee Lyles (No. 41) scored the lone goal for Portland Thorns against Angel City FC with an assist from Farrah Walters.
