OK, so we have come to the end of a very intense college soccer pre season campaign. This
involved practicing two times a day plus playing 4 pre season games.
We start our regular season schedule this week.
Pre season was a success for us. In terms of numbers we won 2 and lost 2. That does not sound
impressive, however the performances of the team as a whole plus individual players really were
very good.
The AFC Cup quarter final first-leg between Thai Port and Al-Qadsia ended in a goalless draw. The
game was played in difficult conditions at Suphachalasai, as heavy rain swept into the Stadium for
the entire game, creating a difficult surface on which to play cohesive football.
The home side adapted to the conditions quickest, creating a couple early chances.
Goals by sophomores Molly Haertle (Oconomowoc) and Elaine
Gerry (Sauk Prairie) in a 74-second span in the opening 10 minutes were enough to send the
Edgewood College women's soccer team to its first Northern Athletics Conference victory of the
season, a 2-1 decision over Concordia (Wis.
It was a game that, at times, it looked like Philadelphia should have had four or five goals on
the board. Instead, it took 120 minutes for the Independence to score the only goal of the match
and earn a well-deserved win.
Sometimes, you just got to do it the hard way.
The Philadelphia Independence hosted Washington Freedom on Sunday in the first round of the WPS
playoffs and it was a nervous start for both teams.
Well, actually, reverse that.
I have never, in my life, in all the years I've been watching soccer, supporting the Wizards
(and Chelsea before that), ever come even close... to being that disappointed
while watching my team play. It was a horror-fest, we couldn't keep the ball, we were
hemorrhaging goals left and right (actually, mostly from the right and one from the center).
There was no way to separate the Regis Rangers and the Metro State Roadrunners men's soccer
teams on Wednesday afternoon on Auraria Field.
No. 11 Metro State and No. 18 Regis University settled for a 2-2 draw, the fourth consecutive
tie between the two teams. The last time either team won was on Sept.

For the better part of 93 minutes, it looked as though the lowly New England Revolution were
going to end FC Dallas' 15-game unbeaten streak Wednesday night. Instead, a Jeff Cunningham goal on
the second-to-last-kick of the match saved a point for the Hoops and kept the streak alive.
