U.S. U-20 Women Take CONCACAF Championship

January 30, 2010: The U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team defeated Mexico again on late goal by Sydney LeRoux. Sydney scored her tournament-leading sixth goal in the 87th minute to give the U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team a 1-0 victory over Mexico and the title at the 2010 CONCACAF U-20 Women’s Championships.

Both teams had already qualified for the 2010 FIFA Women’s World Cup by virtue of semifinal victories two days ago, but Mexico’s performance was outstanding.  The U.S. broke through a very strong defense with less than three minutes to play in regulation and appropriately it was Leroux who bagged the game-winner.

Leroux, who was also the top scorer at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Chile, tallied in four out of five matches the USA played in Guatemala, with her final goal worthy of a tournament winner.

In the third place match Canada succumbed to Costa Rica 1-0, which will be in the U-20 World Cup for the first time.  Canada will not make the trip to Germany.

Highlights of these games can be viewed on the CONCACAF website.

Sol last season. The 24-year-old attacking midfielder should fill the void left by Leslie Osborne, who departed for Boston.

The Bay Area team sent midfielder Tina DiMartino, the third overall pick in the 2009 Women's Professional Soccer league draft, and the 14th selection in next week's draft to Los Angeles. The Gold Pride, which still has the No. 3 and No. 10 overall picks in this year's draft, also received the 20th slot from Los Angeles.

January 5, 2010:  Former consensus All-American and 2007 MAC Herman Trophy winner Mami Yamaguchi signed a professional contract with the Atlanta Beat.

December 10, 2009:  Norway's Gulbrandsen signed with FC Gold Pride, the first Norwegian player in the WPS.

Gold Pride Coach Albertin Montoya said, "We are excited to welcome Solveig and her family to the Pride.  Through the years, Gulbrandsen has asserted herself as one of Scandinavia's most respected players and one of Norway's most talented playmakers and finishers.   Her experience, skills and leadership will help our team immensely.  She is a great fit for our team system and our organization."  He scouted her at the recent UEFA Championship games in Finland.

November 17, 2009:  The Atlanta Beat signed midfielder Stacey Bishop from the Boston Breakers.  "Stacy is quite versatile.” Beat Head Coach Gareth O’Sullivan stated. “I saw her play for Boston last season, and she has some strong attacking qualities. We are looking to use her as more of a holding midfielder although she does give us many options going forward.”

Bishop said, “This really means a lot to me, and I realize that it is a special opportunity."  "This is something I always dreamed of doing as a kid, so it’s pretty amazing to be able to do it for a living.”


November 3, 2009:  Goalie Allison Whitworth has been traded from the FC Gold Pride to the Atlanta Beat in exchange for the 10th and 12th overall 2010 draft picks.  It is the Gold Pride's first trade of the year.

“Daphne Koster is internationally experienced, and she will be a great addition to our defensive line,” Sky Blue FC head coach Pauliina Miettinen commented. “She played extremely well at the European Championships and was one of the backbones of the Netherlands defense, overall one of the best defenders in the tournament. Daphne is very versatile player with an ability to read the game well, and she is also a leader on and off the field.”

Osborne was captain of FC Gold Pride and started 18 of 20 matches.

Allison Falk started in 16 matches for Los Angeles and scored the first ever WPS goal.  Prior to joining WPS, Falk was on defense for Stanford University.
