Fresh off grinding out a 1-1 draw against FC Kansas City where they were down to 10, the Seattle Reign FC were back at it on Wednesday night, hosting the Chicago Red Stars.
The Red Stars came into Memorial Stadium with a 2-1 victory over Sky Blue FC on Sunday and looked to have Seattle's number again after their previous meeting earlier this month saw the Red Stars victorious over the Reign in Chicago.
The visitors would strike first in the 41st minute when Alyssa Mautz connected on a cross from Julie Ertz in the box. In talking about the goal, Ertz said post-match that she was aiming for the far post as it was something she had trained with Mautz on.
