On Friday, Florida Southern (8-5-0) was able to get three goals past Spartan keeper, Kendall Bourdon, in the opening twenty-two minutes and then sit on that 3-0 lead until full time.

UT was out shot 10-5 in the match and only managed to get one of their shots on the Cougar goal. Click to continue reading...

Two consecutive shutouts.
Twelve unanswered goals.
Two wins after failing to secure a victory in their first three matches.
Senior Saige Steinmetz was once again in goal, recording her second straight shutout since taking over for original starter Kendall Bourdon. Click to continue reading...

Poor Chowan University. Coming into Sunday's match with UT, the Hawks (1-4-0) had been shut out their last two matches, outscored 8-0 in those matches, and suffered a 6-0 loss against Columbus State in their previous match.
The Spartans (1-2-1) showed no mercy.
With UT hungry for their first win, they pounced on the Hawks and dominated the run of play and almost ever statistic:
Tampa had eleven corner kicks. Click to continue reading...

When: Today 11am
Where: Walden Soccer Complex, Columbus, GA
The Spartan women (0-2-1) will try to get their season on track this morning against Chowan University (1-3-0) in the final match of the Columbus State Cougar Invitational. UT has dropped their last two games and given up seven goals in the process, but Chowan might be just the ticket they need to get their first win. Click to continue reading...

The Spartan women have yet to taste victory this season after falling 3-2 to Tusculum College (2-1-0) on Friday. Sophomore goalkeeper Kendall Bourdon made five saves in the first half, but gave up three goals as well. Two of Tusculum's goals came in the first thirteen minutes of the game.
UT (0-2-1) fought their way back into the match with a seventeenth minute goal from Jazmin Perry, her team-leading second goal of the season. Click to continue reading...

One hundred fifty-six fans came out early this morning to watch UT host the Grand Valley Lakers (1-0-1). The match didn't start well for the Spartans (0-1-1) and went downhill from there, with UT being shutout 4-0.
An own goal by UT in the second minute was a omen of things to come, as the Lakers out shot the Spartans 23-9 in the match. Click to continue reading...

PUERTO RICO ISLANDERS VS. TORONTO FC
Juan Ramon Loubriel Stadium - Tuesday 8:00PM EST
TV: GOL-TV
What's Spanish for deja vu? It wasn't long ago that TFC had grossly underestimated a USL squad only to need a major win to escape humiliating defeat. Glad to see life lessons were learned back in Montreal. Click to continue reading...

The USL continues to find success in the CONCACAF Champions League while Major League Soccer continues to struggle. Last night in Toronto the Puerto Rico Islanders defeated Toronto FC 1-0 in their first leg CCL Qualifying match. Goalkeeper Bill Gaudette was once again outstanding for the Islanders and Kendall Jagdeosingh continued his CCL heroics with the lone goal. Click to continue reading...

Toronto FC setup a tough away leg in their CONCACAF Champions League qualifying series, losing 1-0 to Puerto Rico at BMO Field on Wednesday. Kendall Jagdeosingh scored the only goal of the game in the 67th minute. Toronto travels to Puerto Rico next week needing to win by at least two goals in regulation to take the series.

What do the writers of "Lost" and TFC have in common? Neither have an idea of how to successfully kill off Islanders.
It was offensive. Just not in the right way. TFC beat themselves in their first ever appearance in international play with an utter lack of attacking teamwork. The team have not found a way to integrate new striker Ali Gerba into the line-up and paid the price as they lost to Puerto Rico 1-0 on home turf. Click to continue reading...

English Premier League side Everton FC have revealed their new home strip for the 2009-10 season. The kit, manufactured by Le Coq Sportif, was unveiled at the new Everton Two @ Liverpool One store in Liverpool city centre by Howard Kendall. The shirt is primarily blue, as you would expect from Everton, but has a white V [. Click to continue reading...

Disappointing crowd for the first game of the doubleheader with the Galaxy with not many fans of the men's game bothering to come out a little early for the women. This, of course, is why AEG isn't interested in the Sol.

So gray and gloomy here in Carson then (in more ways than one), but perfect for football.

Don Garber's hopes that USL would be shut out of the 2009/10 version of the CONCACAF Champions League have not been realized. Last night in Trinidad, the Islanders recorded a 2-0 semifinal win in the CFU Final Four over Haitian Champions Tempete. Kendall Jagdeosingh scored the winning goal on a cross from Scott Jones early in extra time and Peter Villegas scored another later to provide the margin for victory.

Yup - it's a busy day in Canterbury, with lots of computer work on tap, as well as some growing grass to catch up with, a bike to get to the bike shop, maybe even a little bit of exercise (other than mowing) and reading to squeeze in along the way. (Hah!)

Here's the WPS preview for the weekend - with some interesting match-ups, starting with FC Gold Pride and the Daniela-less (and MacNeill-less) Athletica tonight at 8PM ET.
