After the loss on Sunday to the North Carolina Courage, the Seattle Reign FC quickly had to dust themselves off and hit the road for a crucial match against the Chicago Red Stars at Toyota Park. Seattle’s mission for a spot in the NWSL Playoffs wasn’t quite killed by the loss, but rebounding and getting back in the win column was absolutely necessary.
The Red Stars opened the scoring in the 21st minute when Taylor Comeau sent a cross into the box and the complete opposite of her reliability, Rebekah Stott forgot to mark Jen Hoy and she was able to glide in and head in the cross.
