Olivia Moultrie scored a record-breaking free-kick goal, and the Portland Thorns went on to tie the Chicago Stars 1-1 on Sunday in Bridgeview, Ill.

Moultrie, three days shy of turning 20, took a free kick from just outside the box in the 12th minute and perfectly placed it inside the near post for her 14th NWSL goal as a teenager, the most in league history.


Mackenzie Arnold made three saves for the Thorns (8-6-6, 30 points), including a crucial swat in the first minute of second-half stoppage time to preserve the tie.

In the 45th, Bea Franklin tied the game with her second goal in as many matches for Chicago (2-9-9, 15 points), which extended its unbeaten run to seven matches (1-0-6). Alyssa Naeher had three saves for the Stars.
