Chicago Red Stars 0, Reign FC 1
Reign FC collected three points on the road Sunday with the help of Jess Fishlock. The Reign topped the Chicago Red Stars, who saw the debut of newly minted Red Stars forward Savannah McCaskill.
The Wales international has returned to the Reign FC with a bang. After being voted the NWSL Player of the Week for her game-tying goal against the youthful Washington Spirit, Fishlock found the back of the net again against Emily Boyd. Fishlock’s goal was unassisted, but Ifeoma Onumonu put on the moves against Casey Short to find feed Fishlock.
