Like every season, the 2008/2009 season would be a very tight race for the honor or dishonor of
being named 2009 LLTO La Liga Dirtiest Player. Many young defenders tackled and taunted their
way to the top of the cards list, but for most their strong effort would come up a little bit
short.
USLNews congratulates all the award winners!
Most Valuable Player – Angelika Johannson (Hudson Valley)
Defender of the Year – Brittany Taylor (Hudson Valley)
U-19 Player of the Year – Chante Sandiford (Washington Freedom)

Well their is the lucky clubs and the unlucky ones too. Unfortunately, sometimes the gap is so
small between these clubs that it is hard to say where exactly it all went wrong. They say
football is a game of inches, but sometimes it much more precise then that. These were the teams
that let it slip in between their fingers.
Not many surprises here.

Louis.
