The Steel City Sparks brought their record to 5-1-0 with a 3-1 win over the Massachusettes Songers and a 5-1 win over the Rhode Island Rays. Their wins came evene though their two active WUSA players were in Blaine Minnestota for the WUSA exhibition games. I think that the Sparks were also on the short on keepers this weekend with Jamie Stich at a U-23 play-off with the Penns Forest Inferno and Emily Niman at Charlotte with the Northern Virginia Majestics http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3050059&l_id=&t_id= "The second half of the match started along with the rain. Charlotte continued to pressure, but not quite as aggressively with the three point lead. In the 63rd minute Tiffany Tisdale earned her third assist of the game, setting up forward Ashley Swinehart for goal four of the match. Paige Ledford finished off the scoring in the 89th minute. The Lady Eagles continued to be dangerous on the corner kicks. Tisdale sent the kick into the box. Sarah Steinmann's shot in the six yard box was saved and deflected back. Steinmann tapped the ball to Paige Ledford who finished. The Lady Eagles outshot the Majestics 9-2 in the second half. Substitute Northern Virginia goalkeeper Emily Niman had four saves in the half. "
