Offensive MVP
Lima, Elizabeth (Bay State Select)
Lima scored one goal and had a great assist. She controlled the attack and kept the tempo on high pressure.

Defensive MVP
Mastrogiacomo, Erica (Bay State Select)
Mastrogiacomo had a goal and an assist from the defensive area. Erica clearly controlled the backfield setting up plays protecting our goal.

GAME SUMMARY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The clash of the playoff hopefuls went the way of the Bay State team after a pulsating game at Swarthmore, both teams trying to get the first goal that could determine the way of the game and possibly the final playoff place in the East division.

The Pirates marshalled in the middle of the field superbly by Lisa Chinn and Kim Lisun keeping the brazilian duo at bay for the first half and really no real chances created by either team.

The second half was pretty much the same and the pirates nearly got the all important lead when Katie Kokkinos provided great work on the outside to square the ball to debutant Allie Schilling and she slid the ball home or so everyone in the 250 crowd thought until a great save on the line by the Bay state keeper had everyone applauding

The emphasis switched to Bay state and as all to often late in games the Pirates defence missing Betty Rogers through injury gave up 3 late goals and after the hard work in the first half gave the game to Bay State and now must settle with Steel City for probably 3rd in the division as Bay State now have the advantage over both teams to finish in second place.

GAME SUMMARY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New England Summary - The New England Mutiny (10-0, 10-0 WPSL East Division) had a chance to make the Women's Premier Soccer League National Championship for the third year in a row - the third year of its existence - at Steel City (5-2-2, 5-2-2 WPSL East Division) and they did not waste the road trip. Now, they won't have to make as long a trip to fulfill their mission of acquiring the top prize in the league.

New England will host the WPSL Championship this July 30-31 at Agawam High School while also being the first side to qualify for the four-team tournament. The league tournament has been hosted on the West Coast the prior two seasons. The 2004 WPSL champion California Storm could be the second team to qualify, depending on their result versus the Elk Grove Pride tonight.

University of Connecticut star Meghan Schnur (Butler, PA) would make her sort of homecoming a game-winning one. In the 18th minute, forward Rachel LeDuc (Longmeadow, MA) would get fouled 25 yards from goal and the U.S. U-19 National Team midfielder struck the corresponding free kick inside the top corner of the post, to the right of Sparks goalkeeper Melissa Haire (4 saves).

Kerry Connors (Somers, CT) would notch her second goal in as many matches in the 38th minute, as Schnur fed the former San Diego Spirit midfielder the ball and she would finish clinically with a low shot from the top of the penalty area. The score would be 2-0 at halftime and the visitors would match that scoreline in the second half.

It would take until the 80th minute, though, as Schnur would finish the night with two goals and an assist as former New York Power midfielder Margaret Tietjen (Huntington, NY) would set her up with a cross from the left flank. She would notch her sixth goal of the 2005 season as she beat Haire to the ball and one-timed her shot into the empty net for the insurmountable 3-0 lead.

Schnur is now tied for the team-lead in points scored with Jenny Maurer (E. Longmeadow, MA), as both midfielders have registered six goals and five assists this season (17 points) - good for second in the league. Two former Boston Breakers would finish the scoring on the night in the 85th minute, as Naomi Stone (Teaticket, MA) ran on to a nice through ball by Rebekah Splaine (Cambridge, MA) and would beat the keeper on a 1 v. 1 to make the 4-0 final score.

Jennifer Molina (Methuen, MA) would make four saves for her fourth shutout of the season. New England will play their third match in the six days as they return to Agawam H.S. for the conclusion of the season series with the Boston-North Aztecs on Tuesday, July 12th. Kick-off is slated for 7:00 p.m.

GAME SUMMARY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Utah Spiders face long-time rival Ajax America. At the kick-off, the game was slow due to the 97 degree heat and absence of clouds. However, Spiders Jennifer Williams connected with her head the cross from Shauna Bingham's corner kick, to place the Spiders on the score board at the 18th minute. The goal awoke Ajax, who equalized a minute later and went on to put on a clinic of great soccer in front of the Spider fans. Ajax's Sarah Gamer broke past the Spider defense to slot a ball past Spider's keeper in the 28th minute. After a borage of shots the half ended with Utah down 1-2 to Ajax, who seemed to gain confidence as the game went on. The second half was more of the same with Ajax dominating all area of play. In the 60th minute, Cami Boswell assisted Jessica Edwards on her goal and then Edwards assisted Gamet in the 70th minute, making the final score 4-1 Ajax.

GAME SUMMARY

Everton stareted the game brighter and looked more dangerous throughout the first half. Kathy Webb opened the scoring after Janet Javet played here through. Javet then added a second for Everton midway through the half from a free kick. Just before half time, Houston pulled a goal back when Linda Pierson raced on to a through ball by Lauren Pfister. It was 2-1 at half time to Everton. The second half saw Houston begin to dominate. Chances at both ends could not create a breakthrough until the 59th minute when Pfister turned scored with a header from a Sophia Mundy cross. The goal lifted Houston even more and in the 81st minute sealed the deal with a third headed goal, this time from Jennifer Hance from another cross by Sophia Mundy. Houston won the game 3-2.

GAME SUMMARY

In another hot, and this time humid game, the Utah Spiders looked to recover from yesterday's defeat to Ajax and placed their emotions and frustrations on the visiting San Diego WFC SeaLions. The Spiders came out of the shoot with fire for the loyal fans on a mission to regain their winning ways. Finding their rhythm in the first 10 minutes put San Diego on their heels with quick ball movement and hustle on defense to win balls. The Spiders produced multiple shots on goal connecting in the 25th minute with a great through ball from Shauna Bingham to Linsey McFarland who slotted it past the SeaLion keeper. 2 minutes later, Bingham fed another goal through to Krissa Reinbold who put it away. The Spiders led 2-0 until the 40th minute when an unmarked Danica Carey ripped a 35 yard shot past Spider's keeper Ashley Smith. The half ended 2-1 Spiders. The Spiders came out strong again in the 2nd half, dominating posession and shots on goal. San Diego found a second wind around the 75th minute, pressuring the Spiders and keeping them on their heels until the final whistle blew. A hard fought battle by two seasoned teams. The Spiders next look ahead to the S.F. Nighthawks in historic Kezar Stadium on Saturday, July 16th.

GAME SUMMARY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The offense of the New England Mutiny (11-0, 11-0 WPSL East Division) this season has not centered on the usual suspects - the forward corps - but the midfield. And one of the New England newcomers had no problem stepping right into that mold.

In her first start and with her first shot on goal this season, left-sided midfielder Margaret Tietjen (Huntington, NY) gave the home side the goal it would need to be victorious in this Women's Premier Soccer League East Division match versus the Aztecs of Boston-North (3-5-1, 3-5-1 WPSL East Division). In stoppage time of the first half, the former University of Connecticut star would notch the eventual game-winner in this 2-0 win for the Mutiny.

Playing as a right-sided midfielder on this night instead of her usual defender spot, Marie Spinelli (N. Grosvenordale, CT) would send in a cross to forward Rebekah Splaine (Cambridge, MA), who deftly corralled the ball and laid the ball off nicely to Tietjen. The former New York Power star deked and dribbled along the outside of the penalty area and finished clinically inside the far post to the left of the Aztec keeper.

A goal by Kia McNeill (Avon, CT) in the 79th minute would prove to be the insurance as New England has now extended their unbeaten streak to 11 games. With a berth in the WPSL National Championship already secured, Mutiny head coach Austin Daniels started players in different roles on this night - with former Boston Breaker Alexa Smith (N. Haven, CT) also seeing her first playing time of the 2005 season.

Whether it was the unfamiliar surroundings for some players, or the style of play that Boston-North expounded, the run of play could at times be best described as non-flowing. Clogging passing lanes and fouling when necessary, the Aztecs did what they had to do to stop goals but could not do anything to score them. Goalkeeper Addie Kozlowski (Suffield, CT) would make one save on the lone shot for Boston-North on the night.

Dangerous looks at goal for the Mutiny were at a premium, as they could not consistently get behind or through the Aztec defense. The lightning athleticism of McNeill would ignite the pitch as she ran on to a ball by fellow Boston College star Jenny Maurer (E. Longmeadow, MA) in the 79th minute. Her skillful, one-touch finish under the onrushing Boston-North keeper Caitlin Pickul (4 saves) would finish the scoring on the night.
