We recorded this episode before the preseason roster release, so while you’re listening, just know we are unaware of the Mallory Swanson news and the news of 5 of the 7 NRIs invited to camp.

We have Micayla Johnson news though! LT and Liz talk about Chicago’s first steps into the youth movement around the league, and what it means for the club’s future.

We also talk schedule and the schedule release video!

Goodbyes are not easy, not just in everyday life but in sports. Whether they’re your favorite player on the pitch or one who rides the bench but you love who they are as a person, players leaving your favorite team isn’t fun. We have to talk about it though, and Chicago has about 9 or 10 players not returning for 2025.

Chicago also added another goalkeeper, so at least we have new players to get to know on the club!

And don’t worry, LT and Liz didn’t forget that this week was meant for the 2024 defensive line breakdown. It’s all in there, so come join us on this episode of Red Stars Report!
