Seattle Reign FC battle smoke and Chicago Red Stars to scoreless draw

Four days after picking up a massive win against Utah Royals FC on the road, Seattle Reign FC were back in the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium on Wednesday evening, hosting Chicago Red Stars in a scoreless draw.

There was controversy before kickoff even happened because of the fact that the weather was anything but optimal. Yes it was hot — it is summer, after all — but smoke has also blanketed the Seattle skies for the past few days due to wildfires in Canada and central Washington, and air quality has been terrible.
