Two South Bay players win WPS awards
Palos Verdes Estates' Christen Press (magicJack) was named Rookie of the Year, while Rolling Hills Estates Whitney Engen (Western New York Flash) received the Defender of the Year honor in Women's Professional Soccer.
Engen, 24, led the regular season champions to a 13-2-2 record and missed just one game (while on national team duty) all season; Press, the reigning 2010 MAC Hermann trophy winner out of Stanford, scored eight goals for magicJack - almost one-third of the team's total - and just two behind former LA Sol striker Marta, who took the Golden Boot Award despite playing in just 14 games.
