A stretch of 3 games over 8 days for the Chicago Red Stars have them in second place in the NWSL standings. On Saturday, Chicago heads back on the road to face the Washington Spirit for the first time this season.
Chicago is coming off a draw after facing Sky Blue FC last Saturday. The New Jersey squad were looking for their first points of the season coming into Toyota Park.
Sofia Huerta made their quest for points a difficult one as she scored a goal 44 seconds into the match. It would be the Red Stars lone goal, despite a solid attack from Chicago with opportunities on goal.
