Star Wars puns aside, our Jackie Tranchida of Metromix visited the Chicago Force - Chicago's women's tackle football team.

Watch Jackie put on the gear and hit the gridiron with the women of the Force. Jackie found out - the hard way - it's not some powder puff, flag-football, dainty game to be taken lightly, these women mean business.

The Force's first home game is this Saturday, April 18th at 7 pm. All home games are on Saturdays and are played at North Park University's football field. Come out and watch the Force defend their Eastern Conference crown.
