HOLY POSTSEASON IMPLICATIONS, BATMAN!
Saturday’s match against the Chicago Red Stars will be crucial in the Pride’s attempt to qualify for their second consecutive playoff. Currently, the sixth-place Pride sit one point behind fifth-place Chicago with two games remaining. The Red Stars have 31 points and three games left in the regular season. With two prior wins in the month of May over the Red Stars, the Pride hold the tiebreaker should the two teams finish the season with the same amount of points. A win could jump the Pride back into playoff position, as Utah Royals FC hold the fourth and nal spot with 32 points.
