Racing got its first 3 points of the season and will gladly take them. Chicago was pretty toothless, and Racing still has things to improve upon, but will go into the first international break of the season in decent shape.
Lund-6: Was beaten on a header early in the match, but it hit the crossbar. She played Wright into trouble to make stoppage time nervier than it needed to be.
Hase-7: Much better in her second start. She made a couple of good standout defensive plays.
Petersen-8: I am starting to like her at center back. I think she is steadier than Jean and Hase makes her not as necessary at left back. Her corner takes are good especially the inswingers.
Wright-8: Had a headed shot on goal to go along with a good defensive effort.
Milliet-7: Gritty as usual. I still feel like she has more to contribute offensively but it wasn’t needed in this match.
Flint-8: Her interception was as key to the goal as was Sears’ finish. It was another in a long line of good performances against the also rans of the league.
O'Kane-7: I thought it was a nice full debut. She offers some different things to Racing’s other midfielders and will be good for a change of page either by starting or as a sub.
DiGrande-7: Racing is calmer when DiGrande is on the pitch. Sometimes the chaotic nature of DeMelo is better for the situation but today was a good day for her to be the 10.
Weber-7: You have to feel like her goal is coming, but she will need to be just a little quicker to the ball in this league compared to what she is used to.
Fischer-7: If she ever gets her decision making to match her effort, she can move up a level. I thought she picked out the wrong pass a few times (or dribbled or shot instead of passing) but her effort causes problems for the other team.
Sears-8: She got a fortunate deflection, but was aware enough of the conditions to challenge the keeper, something you always want to do in the wind.
