With the North Carolina Courage and Chicago Red Stars set to face off in the semifinal playoff match tonight, we spoke with Claire Watkins and Sandra Herrera from Hot Time in Old Town to get their take on the revamped Red Stars lineup.
DSS: Last season Chicago reinvented Julie Ertz as a midfielder which Jill Ellis adopted. Then this year you moved her back to CB. How do you feel about the change in position and Ertz’s impact on the season so far?
HTIOT (Sandra): It was a move made out of necessity, but one that has paid off, both in 2017 as a DM and in 2018 as CB.
