The Chicago Stars played their first game at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., and put on an offensive show Sunday in a 5-2 win over the Orlando Pride.

Ludmila and Julia Grosso each had a goal and assist in the victory for Chicago (2-9-8, 14 points). It was time both players achieved the feat in their two seasons in the NWSL. Ludmila's goal is her 10th of the season, putting her in third place in the NWSL Golden Boot race.

After a goalless first half, Sam Staab scored on a free kick four yards outside of the 18-yard box into the top left corner in the 50th minute. Even though Carson Pickett tied the match in the 53rd minute, Chicago scored three straight goals from Jameese Joseph, Bea Franklin and Grosso to pull away before Haley McCutcheon clawed on back for the Pride.
