With the playoff race still highly competitive, this weekend, the Chicago Red Stars begin their final stretch of the season against the Washington Spirit. While the Red Stars are trying to maintain their playoff spot, the Spirit are also hoping to get back into the picture. Unlike the last couple of games for the Red Stars, both teams have everything to play for.
After the last game, Katie Johnson has served her suspension and will probably return to the Chicago Red Stars line-up. Question marks still hang over Arin Wright and Vanessa DiBernardo, who were last listed as out with an illness.
