The Chicago House Athletic Club semi-pro men’s and women’s soccer teams went undefeated vs the Green Bay Glory teams in the “Soccer Sunday” double header this past Sunday at Langhorst Field at Elmhurst University.
In the afternoon match-up, the Chicago House women defeated the Green Bay Glory women by the score of 4-0 with all the goals coming in the second half. The first half of soccer was evenly matched with neither team scoring. The Chicago House made a few adjustments at half-time that really made a difference.
“Yeah, the Glory was pressing us hard in the first half and stopped us from getting behind them for chances at goal,” said JJ Ruane, head coach of the Chicago House women. “The team understood the small adjustments we made and were able to take control of the game in the second half.”
The Chicago House women continued their undefeated season and remain in first place in the Lake Shore Conference of the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL); the largest women's adult soccer league in the United States.
