It should be mentioned that the Red Stars' English stand out, Karen Carney, was ejected in the 60th minute when she was given her second yellow in the match with a hard tackle against US National Team star, Abby Wambach. Even with a man advantage the Freedom were still unable to capitalize in the remaining 30 minutes of the match, nor were the Red Stars able to tally a goal- the game ending in a 0-0 draw.
The RS are currently the only team to not have a loss on the road, but the lady Stars could use a victory (3 points) to help lift them back towards the top of the standings like the beginning of the season.
(Correction: Red Stars' Karen Carney was ejected from the game with a straight red card in the 60th minute of play.)
