Drainage Depth: Chicago Red Stars vs North Carolina Courage, NWSL Week 5 Preview

A long week of waiting for the Chicago Red Stars game this weekend. Chicago will play host to North Carolina Courage in a Mother’s Day match-up on Sunday.

The Red Stars are coming off of their first loss of the season, where they fell to Utah Royals FC, 1-0. A tough game on the road as Chicago had to play down a woman after losing Katie Johnson to a Red Card in the 42nd minute. Per NWSL rules, Johnson will be unavailable for this match against North Carolina.

This will be the second match against the Courage this season, but the first match at home without U.
