On Saturday night, Sky Blue FC, currently sitting third in league standings, will play host to the No. 2 team in the league, the Chicago Red Stars.
The two teams previously met this season on June 25, a 2-1 loss for the New Jersey side despite Madison Tiernan scoring her first professional goal to put Sky Blue in the lead just three minutes into the contest. However, a pair of second-half Red Stars goals by Vanessa DiBernardo and Sofia Huerta was more than enough to prevent Sky Blue from riding off into the sunset with three points in hand.
