The Chicago Red Stars pro women’s soccer team hosted a benefit for Lesbian Community Care Project after last Sunday’s game against the Washington Freedom. The tough game was won by Washington, and players from both sides joined LCCP for autographs and photos. The loss means Chicago won’t make the playoffs, and their last home game will be this Sunday, Aug. 2, against Marta and the Los Angeles Sol. In the July 26 game, played in front of 5,226 fans at Toyota Park, Abby Wambach scored two of the Freedom’s goals, while Megan Rapinoe and Karen Carney each scored for Chicago.
