Chicago Red Stars at Los Angeles Sol

When: noon Saturday at Home Depot Center

TV: none

Scouting the Red Stars: The Red Stars (2-5-5, 11 points) haven't won in eight matches, and considering the WPS season is only 20 matches long, the team needs to get going soon - real soon. Marian Dalmy, Heather Garriock and Ella Masar will miss the match due to injury.

Scouting the Los Angeles Sol: The Sol (9-1-4, 31 points) is in first place in WPS by a whopping 13 points, and not just because of Brazilian sensation Marta. The Sol has a 9-match unbeaten streak thanks in part to the defense of Naperville native Brittany Bock.

Next game: vs. Washington Freedom, Wednesday.
