Drafted by the Thorns. Beginning her professional career. Finishing her college courses. Preparing for the NWSL. Life has come pretty fast for Morgan Weaver, the second overall pick in January's NWSL College Draft, and that's not even considering that much of that life has taken place amid a global pandemic.

On this episode of Breaking Lines, the former Washington State Cougar talks about her new life in Portland, living with another Thorn who has relocated from up north, the importance of lighting in your iPhone photos and why Mark Parsons and Nadine Angerer have made her laugh during her first months as a pro.

For the when, we’ll have to wait, but after Thursday’s MLS is Back Tournament draw, we now know the who. The Portland Timbers will return to action next month against, in some order, Los Angeles FC, the LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo for Group F play in Orlando, Florida.

Minutes after the draw, the Timbers’ broadcast team — Jake Zivin, Ross Smith and Nat Borchers — assembled for this emergency podcast, taking inventory of what this week’s news means for Portland’s season and what the realities of a Covid-19 world mean for the transition back to the field.
