The Chicago Red Stars completed an exhausting week with four points from three games in eight days. Following a home draw with Gotham FC and an away victory in Kansas City, the Red Stars were hit with a late gut punch in Houston on Saturday night when Kristie Mewis scored in the 83rd minute to seize the three points.
Mallory Pugh once again occupied a starring role for the Red Stars, scoring in the 4th minute to give the Red Stars the early lead with her first NWSL regular season goal for the club.
