CHICAGO -- The Chicago Red Stars are in the driver's seat of the Women's Premier Soccer League's Midwest-North Division, and they potentially can clinch a division crown this weekend.

Chicago hosts Minnesota Kings FC at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Village of Lisle-Benedictine University Sports Complex in Lisle, Ill. Tickets are only $10 for general admission seating. For tickets and more information about the Red Stars, visit www.ChicagoRedStars.com. The match includes a live webcast, which will be accessible through www.RedStarsGear.com.

Sunday's match potentially represents the Red Stars' division clincher, and it would take place against the only team that has defeated Chicago this season. Host Minnesota edged the Red Stars, 1-0, on June 1, but Chicago has posted a six-game winning streak since then, outscoring its opponents 21-3 during this stretch to take the Midwest-North lead.

"The team is just starting to hit its stride," Red Stars Head Coach Rory Dames said. "Our best soccer is still ahead of us."
