EXPECTED OWN GOALS: NWSL Preview Week — Chicago Stars FC, with Lesley Ryder

Very little was done in the offseason, and with Mallory Swanson MIA, their 2025 playoff prospects seem remote. Lesley Ryder of Gal Pal Sports came on to find the gold in the silt, and how Chicago can still offer some joy to its fans this year.
