On July 6, the Chicago Red Stars earned their second-straight shutout after a 1-0 win over the Houston Dash behind a goal from Mallory Swanson.
The club enters the summer break with a 7-7-2 record and 23 points, placing the squad comfortably above the playoff line.
Swanson (who has scored seven goals this season) has now scored in four consecutive matches for the Red Stars; she’s now tied with Jen Hoy, who also scored in four straight matches for the Red Stars in 2014. Also, Swanson’s game-winner was the forward’s eighth for the club, tying her with Sam Kerr for second in club history in game-winning goals.
Following the summer break, the Red Stars will prepare for NWSL X Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup play with their first match against NJ/NY Gotham FC at SeatGeek Stadium on Saturday, July 20, at 4 p.m. Tickets are available now at chicagoredstars.com/tickets.
