The Red Stars needed a win tonight to turn the page on last week’s disappointing draw at home and head into their month-long furlough on a high note. They just about managed it, thanks to a debut goal from Stephanie McCaffrey.
The result also made a happy set-up for the post-game festivities as the Red Stars retired former captain Lori Chalupny’s number. Her #17 jersey is the club’s first retired number and it’s no less than the skipper deserves.
No one deserves this more than the all-time captain @lorichalupny. #ThanksChups pic.
