The Chicago Red Stars may have clinched a playoff berth but the battle is not over for them this regular season when the Utah Royals come to Illinois this weekend. The Portland Thorns are just two points behind with a game in hand. The Red Stars need to win this game to give them the best chance at a home playoff game, and the Royals are still in a playoff battle of their own.
Last week, Vanessa DiBernardo and Arin Wright were both upgraded from being out, but neither made an appearance from off the bench.
