Chicago Red Stars at Washington Freedom

When: 3:30 p.m. Saturday at RFK Stadium in Washington D.C.

TV: none

Scouting the Red Stars: Cristiane seems to have found her scoring touch, with 2 goals in the last two games. Now if only the Red Stars (2-3-4, 10 points) can get a win they can make a big jump in the standings. They'll have to do it without the injured Ella Masar.

Scouting the Washington Freedom: The Freedom (3-3-3, 12 points) is in second place in WPS to the Red Stars' sixth, but the Red Stars can pass the Freedom in the standings with a win.

Next game: at Sky Blue FC, Wednesday.
