Well, it's been a great inaugural season. At least for us viewers and fans, it has been nice to have women's soccer back in the "big times," if you will. There has been some turbulence, ending least of all with a report that many of the clubs have lost millions of dollars, and the low attendance for the championship. Despite this, there have been many upsides. A pro league for women, featuring many national team stars of past, present and future, as well as internationals that received deserved… Continue

So playoffs at the Plex. Supposed to be a fortress, right? How would the team do without Bompastor? Well, on a hot hot hot and muggy day in Boyds, the Freedom fell to Sky Blue FC 2-1, thanks to a Francielle goal in the 85th minute.

So as I said, the Freedom have nabbed a spot in the playoffs thanks to a 3-1 win over Sky Blue FC at the Maryland SoccerPlex on Saturday. Coupled with LA's win against Boston, the Freedom took the 3rd seed, which means a home playoff game… Continue

Well here it is. The final game of the regular season is at home, at the Maryland SoccerPlex, against Sky Blue FC. This is a potential winner takes all game. If the Freedom win or tie, they are in the postseason. With loss, they would be relying on the LA Sol to take care of the Boston Breakers. The WPS website has been kind enough to verify the post season picture and you can take a look at it here: http://www.womensprosoccer.com/Home/news/general/090726-playoffs.aspx
