BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. - The Western New York Flash (1-1-0) dropped its second game of the 2016 season against the Chicago Red Stars (1-1-0) 1-0 at Toyota Park on Saturday night.
The game started off with high offensive pressure from the visitors, with multiple corner kicks early on, but the Flash went down in the 28th minute when Red Stars defender Casey Short took a shot that took a deflection off a player in the box.
