Capitals Go Down 3-1, Kimbrough makes TOTW Honorable Mention

                            

Well done ladies on the road!  We traveled down and dealt with a lot on the road but managed to with no subs come out with a 3-1 win over the Capitals!  Both sides were given penalty kicks which is how they managed to sneak that goal in there!  The referee’s were absolutely atrocious, but we weren’t expecting anything better.  The other team had a player red-carded as well as one of their coaches, if that gives you an idea of how dramatic the match was. 

SHOUT OUT to Ellen Kimbrough for making TOTW Honorable Mention this week….
HONORABLE MENTION: F Fiona O’Sullivan (CALIFORNIA STORM) - the Irish international led the Storm offense in wins over Portland & Seattle the weekend; MF Jenna Roncarati (BAY STATE SELECT) - Bay State can celebrate their first-ever post-season appearance thanks to the effort from the dynamic midfielder, who scored the tying goal in the 2-2 draw vs. Boston (the only blemish this season for the undefeated WPS affiliate); MF Caty Harris (F.C. SACRAMENTO PRIDE) - the Pride midfielder led her team to a 2-0 win over visiting Monterey Blues on Sunday playing hurt, leading a determined attack that resulted in two late scores; GK Ellen Kimbrough (FLORIDA SURGE) - once again, playing solid in goal for the Sunshine contenders while making key saves in a 3-1 road win at Puerto Rico.

SURGE TAKE WIN BY DEFAULT…

                            
Unfortunatley the Thomasville Dragons did not have enough to field a team this week and the Surge took a win by default.  However, we would like to give many thanks to Bobby Hurring’s Super-Y team for coming out last minute and giving us a match to play.

Special thanks also go’s out to the Kimbrough’s for providing our July 4th hamburgers/hot dogs and much more to help us raise money for our trip to Puerto Rico.  You guys are AWESOME!!

Wish us luck as we take on PR next week, and our last two games at home on the 17th and 19th!  We are battling to come out on top of our region and we are close – STICK WITH US SURGE FANS!!!

Zusi & Tullis Make TOTW

 

MF Meagan Zusi (FLORIDA SURGE)
The hard work, hustle & versatility from the Furman standout was clutch in the team’s 3-0 road win over fellow Sunshine contender Palm Beach United. She assisted on the eventual game-winning goal which put Florida in second-place at 4-1-1, with three of their four remaining matches being played at home – but more importantly, against the likes of Miami and PBU.
D Katie Tullis (FLORIDA SURGE)
The Surge center back has been a solid force at the tender age of 33 for her team, and you wouldn’t know it by the captain’s fitness level, commitment, and stamina as her on-the-field “smarts” has kept Florida in the playoff hunt.
