Highlights & Lowlights

This weekend's scores:

St. Louis Athletica 1, FC Gold Pride 0 -Recap

LA Sol 0, Boston Breakers 0 - Recap

Chicago Red Stars 0, Sky Blue FC 2 - Recap

Highlights:
-St. Louis and Sky Blue FC won their first games of the season!

-St. Louis captain Lori Chalupny scored off her own corner kick! How many times do you see that happen?!

- FSC had new commentators this week! (Hopefully they stick around!)

- My old EPYSA teammate, Christie Shaner, played her first professional game as she subbed in for Sky Blue FC's Christie Rampone.

- Solid attendance figures: 3,664 @ Chicago; 3860 @STL; 6,210 @ LA

Lowlights:

- The Chicago Red Stars are no longer undefeated. Tonight's performance was disappointing, but according to Karen Carney (one of my fave Stars) they will bounce back!

- FC Gold Pride goalie Nicole Barnhart broke her nose in the 16' of the STL match (however she continued to play the entire game injured! Tough chica!)

- Bummed the Smith vs. Marta matchup was not available via TV or internet.

- Watched the preview for next week's FSC game: Breakers vs. Freedom. Is anyone else tired of seeing Washington besides me?
