The Chicago Stars earned just their fourth win of the season Sunday, defeating Utah Royals 3-2 to end the visitors’ franchise-record 10-game unbeaten streak. Chicago got two goals from striker Jordyn Huitema and a stunning solo effort from centerback Sam Staab to earn the victory.

It's tough as a Reign fan to confront what it means that Huitema has had more goals in her first 10 matches with the Red Stars than she had in three of the four seasons she was with the Reign. Did she ever score a brace with us?

Huitema would then secure her first brace as a Star, scoring the game-winner from a corner kick in the 86th minute. The win moves Chicago into 14th place with 12 points, sitting just five points out of playoff contention in an incredibly tightly packed NWSL table. Utah still sits among the top teams with 24 points.
