So You Want to Make the Playoffs?
When we looked at the full Red Stars 2018 season way back in March, we knew that the last five games were going to be very hard. After a Tournament of Nations weekend game against Sky Blue (sans Sam Kerr and the USWNT players on the squad), Chicago has a final stretch against North Carolina, Seattle, Portland, Orlando, and Utah, with the final four of those being on the road. From the very beginning, the Red Stars were likely going to have to go into that stretch already in a playoff position to have a real shot to finish the season in the top four.
