CHICAGO - Chicago Stars FC fell 0-3 to Orlando Pride tonight. Three first-half goals secured the visitors a win despite multiple promising shots on goal for Chicago.

Orlando capitalized by with goals from Barbra Banda, Jacqueline Ovalle and Hannah Anderson. The Stars found a chance early with Ryan Gareis getting a service from midfield, outrunning her defender and attacking up the left side, but her shot from distance went over the crossbar, leaving the Stars scoreless in the first half.

The Stars were reenergized after the break with chances from Ivonne Chacón, Julia Grosso and Jameese Joseph coming within five minutes of the first touch. The rest of the match was give-and-go, with neither side breaking through before the final whistle. Jenna Bike and Chacón saw the pitch for the first time in 2026, with the former making her first appearance since returning from injury.

Chicago now sets off on a two-match away trip, taking on San Diego Wave FC March 28 at 7:45 p.m. CT and Utah Royals FC April 3 at 8 p.m. CT.
