Well, we spent a nice weekend in Canada at the Umbro Top Rated Showcase. There were some very good teams and excellent players so it was a great trip even if the weather didn't always cooperate. We also had dinner with some of the parents of our Canadian players as well as some other friends which was absolutely fantastic.
Other than the fact that Mags' team--Man United--pipped my team--Liverpool--for the Premier League title there was not much to complain about. The 'Pool will get them next year...finally...I hope!
Another positive from the weekend was IPFW alum and good friend Shannon Lynn played in her competitive debut for FC Indiana which is ranked as the #6 women's club team in the world. Of course, she's played two exhibition games for them by shutting out WPS team Sky Blue FC for the 45 minutes she played and then helping FCI beat the Chicago Red Stars also from the WPS 3-2, however this was the first game of their W-League season as the team tries to get back to the final in August. On this occassion Shannon not only got her debut but also her first clean sheet as FCI beat Chicago Red Eleven 4-0. Maybe, just maybe, the Canadian National Team will come calling soon!
Lastly, our spring season summary is up on our website so check it out! It was a great building block for the fall as make a push to become the top team in the Summit League! http://www.gomastodons.com/sports/w-soccer/spec-rel/051909aad.html
