With time winding down on the NWSL regular season, the Chicago Red Stars are hanging on to the sixth and final playoff position. Of the team’s four remaining games, tonight’s match with OL Reign looks to be the toughest.
OL Reign sits in second place with 35 points, three points back of the league-leading Portland Thorns. Spots three through eight are tight—with just four points between third placed North Carolina Courage (32) and eighth placed Orlando Pride (28).
It is tight. Every point matters, and the Red Stars are in good shape.
