Things were looking good for the Chicago Red Stars for long stretches of the game. Two early goals seemed to put them on track to win, even when Sky Blue FC pulled one back around the half hour mark. Some strong attacking play plus confident defending all pointed to three points for the Red Stars. But it wasn’t to be; a late equalizer for SBFC sent a dagger through Chicago’s heart. Still, plenty of good stuff from this team at the end of their road trip. We’re going to give our WOTM nod, once again, to Christen Press. She gave SB’s defense problems all night, and her ability to drift away from her markers— most notably on her first-half goal— while still staying onside was thrilling to watch.
