After a firm three games, Chicago’s record is 1-1-1 at SeatGeek. With just one away game so far in the Challenge Cup, the Red Stars are 1-0-0 on the road. If Chicago can stay atop the Central Division, the Red Stars will play in the Challenge Cup semifinals.
A goal: The last game between Chicago and Louisville ended in a 0-0 draw. The Red Stars and Racing Louisville have each scored six goals so far in the Challenge Cup. In the March 30 game, there were 13 shots for the Red Stars and 10 for Racing Louisville. With both teams looking to qualify for the next round, fans can expect more urgency from both sides.

She has also scored 4 goals and had 3 assists for the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) since January.
