Jordyn Huitema Goal Gives Stars A Windy Win After Lopsided Loss | CHGO Stars Podcast

info@allCHGO.com (ALLCITY Network) — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 22:39:45 +0000

Two weeks into the 2026 NWSL season, the Chicago Stars have played two very different games! Opening weekend saw them embarrassed in LA by Angel City who put four past a Stars team that barely put up a fight. But in their home opener on a frigid and windy lakefront, the Stars defeated last year’s Shield winners the KC Current 2-1 behind first Stars goals for rookie defender Tessa Dellarose and new striker Jordyn Huitema. What do we make of these two polarizing results, as the team strives to improve on the field while off-field stadium drama continues to loom over the club. Alex is joined by Joe Chatz to recap a see-saw first couple weeks of 2026 on this edition of CHGO Stars

info@allCHGO.com (Alex Campbell, Lesley Ryder) — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 21:35:48 +0000

THE 2025 NWSL SEASON IS UPON US! The Chicago Stars will set off on a new campaign with a trip to take on Angel City this weekend. Things can only get better this year… right? Alex is joined by Gal Pal Sports’ Lesley Ryder to analyze where the Stars’ squad stands ahead of opening day and what we think we can expect from a team that is still mostly a mystery under new head coach Martin Sjogren. There are so many question: When will Mallory Swanson return? What role will Jameese Joseph play, and what will the tactical setup look like in general? Have the offseason roster changes resulted in a better squad? Will Sjogren give young players chances in a way they haven’t been in recent years? Where will the Stars be playing after this year?? Plus, what are the biggest stories to start this NWSL season? We delve into the unknown on this season-preview edition of CHGO Stars Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

info@allCHGO.com (JOE CH, ALEX CAMPBELL, LESLEY RYDER) — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 23:08:18 +0000

📬 Chicago sports in your inbox: https://allchgo.com/newsletter The good news is that the 2025 Chicago Stars season has finally come to an end. With just 3 wins in 26 games, it’s the worst year the club has had in it’s 17 years of professional existence. The team had more coaches than it had wins, which underscores the disfunction that plagued the year from start to finish. Are there any positives to take? What of this is fixable in the short term and what will take time? We recap the last few games of the season, including a farewell victory at SeatGeek Stadium, continue are player evaluations from last episode with the midfielders and forwards, and stare into unknown of an offseason that could be just as challenging as the 26 soccer games that preceded it.

Chicago Stars WIN Northwestern Debut! No much else happens. | CHGO Stars Podcast (w/ Sandra Herrera)

info@allCHGO.com (SANDRA HERRERA, Alex Campbell) — Tue, 7 Oct 2025 20:07:53 +0000

📬 Chicago sports in your inbox: https://allchgo.com/newsletter Well, this mostly mess of a season is almost over for the Chicago Stars. They did show well in their debut at Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium in Evanston (their temporary, probably, home next season) as they smashed a reeling Orlando Pride team 5-2 with goals from five different players. But since? No more wins and and stuck at the bottom of the NWSL standings. The team though feels already on to next year with interim coach Andres Jacobsen (the 4th different person in charge this year) now settled in. What have we learned from this recent series of games? Is there anything to be learned over the next three? Alex is joined by CHGO Stars emeritus host from CBS Sports and The Attacking Third podcast Sandra Herrera for her perspective Also, we begin looking back on the season starting with the goalkeepers and defenders.

Alyssa Naeher’s Goal, Ludmila’s Hat Trick, and Another New Coach? | CHGO Stars Podcast

info@allCHGO.com (LESLEY RYDER, Alex Campbell) — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 20:26:10 +0000

📬 Chicago sports in your inbox: https://allchgo.com/newsletter The Chicago Stars have a new head coach: Martin Sjogren. But he’s not going to be here until next year? And his assistant is showing up at some point? Meanwhile, the Stars still can’t win but they can create absolute chaos. Ella Masar has four draws in her four NWSL games in charge, and the last two have seen six goals including four by Ludmila and one by… Alyssa Naeher?! Wild times indeed!

Summer Break Is Over, Back to Reality for the Stars | CHGO Stars Podcast

info@allCHGO.com (Alex Campbell) — Tue, 5 Aug 2025 21:23:15 +0000

📬 Chicago sports in your inbox: https://allchgo.com/newsletter The Chicago Stars returned from their summer break on Friday night, drawing 1-1 at home against Gotham FC in Ella Masar’s first league game in charge as the second interim head coach of the season. That draw was certain an improvement on the two games Masar took charge of at the Teal Rising Cup, where the Stars lost 1-0 to Corinthians and Palmeiras respectively (but if nobody saw the games, did they really happen?). Sam Angel and Kathrine Hendrich have arrived, but that’s been the extent of the transfer business for the Stars. If you’re looking for good news, at least Alyssa Naeher is back! Also, Utah Royals made a trade that should seal their spot as the worst team in 2025 despite the Stars doing their best (worst?) to challenge them for it.

An EXPLOSION of News! Hemmi OUT as Red Stars coach, Free Agency starts | CHGO Stars Podcast

info@allCHGO.com (JOE CHATZ, Alex Campbell) — Tue, 1 Jul 2025 20:04:44 +0000

📬 Chicago sports in your inbox: https://allchgo.com/newsletter The Chicago Stars decided the morning of this podcast was a good time to for a giant news dump! Interim Head Coach Masaki Hemmi has left the team to “pursue other opportunities,” short term contracts have been both extended and torn up, and there are a lot of players on the NWSL’s free agency list for the coming offseason. On the soccer side of things, as the NWSL begins its summer break the Stars will probably be glad to get away from the field for a while. Multiple blown leads, including one at Soldier Field created by two great Ludmila goals, and a boring loss in Portland leaves them in second to last (thanks Utah?) and winless in nine. The stars now prepare for a weekend tournament in Kansas City in two weeks amid the backdrop of roster churn and uncertainty.

Inside the Chicago Stars' Ongoing Challenges Post Coaching Change | CHGO Stars Podcast

info@allCHGO.com (Alex Campbell, Lesley Ryder) — Tue, 27 May 2025 20:41:45 +0000

Since firing head coach Lorne Donaldson at the end of April, things haven’t gotten any better for the Chicago Stars. In fact, they may haven only gotten worse. After a 0-0 draw in New Jersey, the Stars have lost their last three in a row and are adrift at the bottom of the NWSL table. Will things get better any time soon? Off the field, general manager Richard Feusz definitely said some stuff, Mallory Swanson is pregnant, and the Stars are going to play a game at Northwestern’s ramshackle soccer-turned football lakefront stadium. It’s a lot to get through, most of it not good, and Alex is once again joined by Lesley Ryder of Gal Pal Sports to go over it all. Oh, and did we mention Alyssa Naeher’s hurt now?

Two games into the NWSL season and things couldn’t be going much worse for the soccer team formerly known as the Chicago Red Stars. An underwhelming rebrand, lack of reinforcements and absent Mallory Swanson led into what’s been a terrible start on the field.
