Study sheds light on concussion rate for teen female soccer players

Dr. Jorge Chahla from Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush Medical Center joins Good Day Chicago to talk about the alarming rate of concussions in girls soccer.

Katie Johnson and Sarah Woldmoe each scored and the Chicago Red Stars advanced to the National Women's Soccer League championship game with a 2-0 semifinal victory over the Portland Thorns on Sunday. 

Chicago will play the Washington Spirit for the title Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky. The Spirit beat OL Reign 2-1 earlier Sunday.  

The Thorns won the NWSL Shield this season for best regular-season record. They have won the NWSL championship twice, in the league's inaugural season in 2013 and again in 2017.
