Red Stars travel to Indiana for exhibtion on Saturday
The Chicago Red Stars will play an exhibition match against its exclusive professional W-League affiliate FC Indiana on Saturday.
The match will begin at 7 p.m. at Kuntz Stadium in Indianapolis.
"This is a great opportunity over a bye week to keep our players sharp," said Red Stars Coach Emma Hayes. "The match will allow all of the players on our very deep bench to get some game time against a first-class opponent."
FC Indiana went 16-1-1 during the 2008 campaign, winning the Central Conference before falling in the W-League championship match. The Lionesses took WPS club Sky Blue FC to the wire earlier this month, allowing two goals in stoppage time in a 2-1 loss.
The Red Stars enter their bye week off a record-setting 4-0 win over Boston. Chicago sits in second place in the WPS standings with eight points.
Tickets for the FC Indiana match are $12 and are available through the club's website, fcindiana.com.
The Red Stars return to WPS action on May 10 at Toyota Park for a rematch with Natasha Kai and Sky Blue FC. In recognition of Mother's Day, all mothers will receive free admission and complimentary flowers. Tickets are available by calling (866) WPS-2009.
