About This Site

Pivot and Strike is a fan-made stats project focused on Portland Thorns FC. It started as a way to bring meaningful match data to life for fans, analysts, and anyone who wants to understand the game a little better. A lot of stats exist, but they’re scattered across sites, buried in dense tables, or not available at all for women’s soccer. This project is an effort to change that.

Here, you'll find match-level stats like possession, passing accuracy, and shots on target. All of it is cleaned, organized, and visualized in a way that's easy to explore. You can track team performance across the season, compare matches, and soon, dive into individual player metrics.

This is an ongoing project. It's part sports analysis, part data science, and part pure love for the game. Whether you're scouting trends, debating tactics, or just geeking out on Thorns stats, you're in the right place.
