The Portland Thorns’ all-time leader in clean sheets will be out for the 2026 NWSL Season.
Today, the Portland Thorns announced that goalkeeper Bella Bixby will be placed on the season-ending injury (SEI) list.
“Bixby sustained an injury to her left knee during pre-season training in Santa Barbara.”
“The club will now focus on providing world-class care, recovery, and rehabilitation support for Bella over the next months.”
In 2025, Bixby became the club’s all-time leader in shutouts.
“I am saddened to share that my 9th season is over before it’s really even begun. During preseason with the team, I suffered an ACL tear.”
“I am devastated at the timing of this injury – I worked tirelessly to get back physically and mentally after starting my family.”
