From yesterday's AJC: http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/c...ies/2005/05/05/double_dip_with_the_backs.html
The Silverbacks stadium can't be built soon enough. DeKalb Memorial is a dump....and I speak from the experience of having played on it throughout high school. Hurry Boris....hurry.
Maybe this has been posted elsewhere, and I can't find it, but rumors are flying that Parlow is with the lady Backs, but I cant find her on the published roster. Is this a lie?
From the AJC: http://www.ajc.com/hp/content/auto/epaper/editions/today/sports_24d72c3ee01fd05a00bd.html Nothing written up at the Silverbacks site yet and nothing stating who got the other two goals.
The Ladybacks have a number of former Beat players on the roster. Sharolta didn't play on Saturday. #6 Sharolta Nonen - DNP #7 Kerry Gragg - 2 G #16 Marci Miller - Jobson - 1 G #21 Lisa Kryskowski(sp?)-Cantrell - titan at center defense #24 Melanie Wilson - solid in the net #29 Leslie Gaston - very good left back Once Nonen gets back, 3/4 of their defense will be former Beat players. No doudt the Beat haters will have a new target in the bullseye. War Silverbeat!
Upcoming schedule for this weekend Sunday May 15, 2005 2:00 p.m. Atlanta Silverbacks Women vs. Bradenton Athletics 5:30 p.m. Atlanta Silverbacks vs. Richmond Kickers All games are at Dekalb Memorial Stadium.
5/15/05 Ladybacks 4 Bradenton Athletics 0 The Lady Silverbacks dominated the match. Former Beat players Kerry Gragg scored two goals and Marci Miller-Jobson scored one. Sara Steinman added the fourth goal.
You can say that again. I can't remember when Bradenton even had a shot. As someone smartly pointed out, one of the things the league needs to be successful is competition. It doesn't matter how many teams you have if 75% of them shouldn't be out on the field, as it was last Sunday. We benefit from having the local connection to the Beat so we ended up with some of the best players in the league. If teams aren't willing to go out and try to get some ex-WUSA players, then the balance of power will be very top heavy for some time to come.

The Carowhina hex is alive and well. The Ladybacks had a lead of 1-0 going into extra time. Life was good. A sudden defensive collapse resulted in a 1-1 tie. I stomped out in disgust. No worries however. I will be back next week for more.
the only reason they were up 1-0 is b/c of a ridiculous call made by the ref resulting in a PK....carolina's goal was a legit one to say the least
Some people may agree with you. Others who viewed the game through blatantly biased hometown goggles, such as myself, would tend to disagree with you.
