will any of these matches be televised? Will Fox Soccer Channel have empty slots available, or substitute when they would have televised the WPS matches (Sunday evening) with some of these matches instead.

A number of WPSL Elite and former WPS players have items available for auction. Also available are items from celebrities and athletes including Katherine Switzer, Jenn Hildreth, Gabrielle Reese, Laila Ali, Billie Jean King, and Nadia Comaneci. The auction ends April 14, 2012. http://www.ebay.com/mzemmerssportsbraauction FC Indiana They previously announced that they would hold a press conference on April 30, 2012 to introduce the team. I think that the team might otherwise be keeping quiet until then. Online presence includes a web site and Twitter feed. http://fcindiana.us/ http://twitter.com/#!/FCIndiana FC Indiana seems to consist of the Haiti National Team whose coach is also Indiana's Shek Borkowski. An old roster still contains information for some current players: http://www.haitiwomenssoccer.com/team-info/womensteam/ They played an exhibition against the WPSL Maryland Capitols FC on March 31 and won 7-0. From FC Indiana's web site, "FC Indiana got three goals from Roselord Borgella, and two goals apiece from Manoucheka Pierre-Louis and Soline Bellevue." http://www.etruth.com/article/20120401/SPORT/704019898/0/NEWS01 This article claims that FC Indiana home games will be played at the Indiana Invaders Complex in South Bend, IN. Other conflicting sources have mentioned other locations, so it's still unclear exactly where games will be played. http://www.etruth.com/article/20120329/SPORT/703299918 http://www.invadersfc.com/Directions/index_E.html Philadelphia Fever Information is difficult to come by for the Fever. Allegedly they are preparing a new web site. Currently, information about the team seems to be split between their Twitter feed and their wpsl.info team page. The Atlantic Soccer Factory web site is another place to look, but it doesn't seem to be updated very often. http://twitter.com/#!/WPSLPhillyFever http://www.wpsl.info/team/index.php?tid=145 http://www.atlanticsoccerfactory.com/ ASA Chesapeake Charge Allegedly an updated web site for the Charge is being prepared. Otherwise, information seems to be split among their current web site, their Facebook page, and the wpsl.info team page, though none of these have been recently updated. http://www.chesapeakecharge.com/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/ASA-Chesapeake-Charge/300126496203 http://www.wpsl.info/team/index.php?tid=93 New York Fury The web site is the best place for information. They do not use their wpsl.info team page. They have a new Facebook page, but they don't seem to use it. http://www.nyfurysoccer.com/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/New-York-Fury/194530487253146
Thanks for the correction. FYI, the Maryland Capitols FC web site still has the incorrect date listed for that game. Regarding the charity sports bra auction, I noticed that there were many more items being auctioned than were listed on the web page I previously posted. These include items from celebrities and athletes like Shannon Miller, Mary Lou Retton, Jane Fonda, Angela Hucles, Christie Rampone, Nicole Barnhart, Lindsay Tarpley, Rachel Buehler, Mia Hamm, Ali Krieger, Hope Solo, and Brandi Chastain. A better URL for the auction listings is: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?scp=..._armrs=1&_ssn=mzemmerssportsbraauction&_rdc=1
