An ode to the Red Stars, Chicago’s best kept sports secret

Hello, Chicago sports fan. You might be distracted with baseball’s opening weekend, but our city has a chance to win a sports championship on Sunday.

For the second year in a row, the Chicago Red Stars—our team in the National Women’s Soccer League—is in a championship final. The Red Stars face the Houston Dash (Sunday, 11:30 a.m. CT, CBS) with a chance to win the NWSL Challenge Cup. It’s the culmination of a month-long tournament, where all (well, most, but we won’t get into that) NWSL teams went to live in quarantine in Utah.
