After a banner 2015 season, the team expected to do well again.[1] The club ended the regular season at third place, and played the play-off semi-final at Boyds, Maryland against Washington Spirit on September 30, falling 2–1 and did not reach the championship match.[o 1][o 2]
This season the Red Stars returned to Toyota Park for its home games, where it last played on a regular basis during its 2010 season in Women's Professional Soccer league.[2] In 2016 season, the Red Stars honored the retirements of several long time members; Michelle Lomnicki,[3] Julianne Sitch, Jackie Santacaterina, and Lori Chalupny. The jersey number 17 worn by Chalupny, a 3-year captain, an Olympic gold medalist and a FIFA world champion was retired in honor of her accomplishments.[4]
After the season, National team coach Jill Ellis called up 5 Red Stars, Christen Press, Alyssa Naeher, Arin Gilliland, Casey Short and Danielle Colaprico to national team training camp.[5][6] On October 7, NWSL announced the voting results of NWSL Best XI and NWSL Second XI; while Press and Gilliland were named to Best XI; 5 Red Stars, Naeher, Julie Johnston, Short, Colaprico and Vanessa DiBernardo were named to NWSL Second XI.[7][8]
In the off-season 8 Red Stars, the highest number in team history,[9] went to play in Australia on loan to W-League sides; Samantha Johnson to Melbourne Victory;[10] Jen Hoy and Arin Gilliland to Newcastle Jets;[11][12] Alyssa Mautz and Vannesa DiBernardo to Perth Glory;[13][14] and Katie Naughton, Danielle Colaprico and Sofia Huerta to Adelaide United.[15] Chicago Red Stars loaned the largest number of players to W-League, 4 more than any other NWSL club.[16]
