It will be the first game Swanson has sat out since returning from maternity leave May 16. She played 90 minutes for the first time July 5, beginning a streak of three straight games going the distance. There was no obvious indication that Swnason had taken an injury in last week\u2019s home loss to Angel City FC.<\/p>\n<p>The injury is the second hit to the Stars front line this week. Jordyn Huitema, who had to leave the Angel City match in the 1st half, was diagnosed with a torn ACL. Huitema will miss the rest of the season. The absences will not help a team that has lost 11 times this season\u2014and been shutout in all of them. Huitema\u2019s 4 goals account for half of the team\u2019s paltry total of 8 this season. Swanson has 1 leaving just 3 among uninjured players. One of them, Tessa Dellarose, has not played since May 5. That leaves Nadia Gomes and Samantha Staab as goal scorers who featured last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>The Stars have been outscored 10-0 in their last two trips to the newly rebranded Inter.co Stadium. They lost the 2024 quarterfinal match 4-0, and the2025 season opener 6-0. The Stars are 7-23-11 since the start of 2025 and have scored 40 goals in 41 games. Swanson did not play in 2025 for maternity leave.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/equalizerWhite-1.png\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mallory Swanson has been ruled out of the Stars\u2019 Friday night visit to Orlando with a knee injury.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":822500,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-822499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=822499"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822499\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/822500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=822499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=822499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=822499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
