The doctor has given the OK to upgrade the Chicago Red Stars from: "showing signs of life" to: "Red Stars are back!" Woohoo!, Yes! http://www.wpsl.info/team/index.php?tid=124 http://www.redstarsgear.com/ A couple of blogs about the Red stars in 2011. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/2011-04-26-878900980_x.htm http://shekborkowski.com/ Early reports are that they may have one of the 3 top teams in the WPSL with players like Amanda Cinalli, Elise Weber, and Michele Weissenhofer all former stars at Notre Dame and all former WPS players. Competition will come from California Breeze who has Tiffany Millbrett, former Red Stars Brittany Klein and Chioma Igwe on the roster.
From the U-23 USWNT pool, I would like to see Notre Dame's Melissa Henderson may be playing for the CRS over the summer. IMO, best college player in the country.
Glad to see a couple of former Athletica starters, Amanda Cinalli and Elise Weber, are still playing soccer and on the Red Stars. Good luck to them both and to the Red Stars.
