As the Chicago Red Stars closed out preseason in Portland during the Thorns Preseason Spring Invitational, some players on the squad are giving the coaching staff some things to think about as it comes time to finalize the roster.
In their first preseason match as professionals, Maria Sanchez and Kayla Sharples connected for the 1st goal of the preseason tournament. A set piece corner sent in by Sanchez, that Sharples converted into goal.
The goal came as an equalizer after Chicago fell behind early in the match on a goal in the 6th minute. It would be the only goal on the day as the Red Stars fell 2-1 to the Thorns to open the tournament.
