| Can you find the professional player? |
On April 14 we were given the opportunity to work as sideline security at the Home Opener of the new NWSL Chicago Red Stars. Our teammates who were able to make it--about 15, got free fieldside seats in exchange for a little bit of pregame, halftime, and postgame work. The game ended in a tie but the Foresters got to meet the owner of the opposing Seattle Reign, see an amazing diving header goal from about 15 feet away, see team favorite Ella Masar get an assist on the Red Stars tying goal, and escort some of the players post game as they signed autographs. Just before the players headed back to the locker room our players managed to grab new Red Star and longtime National Team midfielder Shannon Boxx for a photo. A total honor and privilege. Good work team! And thanks to Shannon and the rest of the Red Stars for the opportunity. We'll be back!
