Sol!

4,593 fans at the HDC saw the LA Sol defeat FC Gold Pride for the third time this season in as many matches between both teams. Camille Abily got the first goal in the 17th minute, and Marta closed 8 minutes later.

The Chicago Red Stars came down to LA looking for a point - or three - they're first since they last defeated Boston 4-0 over a month ago, and they came away with a single point in a very dramatic fashion.

Just six minutes into the match, Chicago had a close chance of taking the early lead. Lindsa… Continue

Both the LA Sol and FC Gold Pride had to play without several of their starters as the US and Canada will play a friendly on May 25. The Sol played without goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc (Canada), defenders Brittany Bock and Martina Franko (USA) and (Canada), and midfielder Shannon Boxx (USA). Pride played without goalkeeper Nicole Barnhart (USA), defender Rachel Buehler (USA), and forward Christine Sinclair (Canada).

It was the goalkeepers, though, that attracted the most attention, making their fi… Continue
