Three games in an eight-game stretch. A 3-0 win over the Houston Dash, at home. 1-0 win on the road against the Orlando Pride. 3-0 over Sky Blue FC. An impressive run of results at an absolutely crucial time.
There’s a ton of wonderful things that happened over the course of these three matches, but there is truly only one thing we learned— reminded of, actually— and it’s this: Casey Short absolutely fucking rules.
Sure, the Red Stars were up by two goal before this brilliant goal from Savannah McCaskill happened, but we are truly inspired by Casey Short’s run here to heave this ball forward for the long range assist on this goal.
