PUMA Golden Boot Award presented to Marta

1 September 2009 ⁄ 2:07 PM

This past Saturday at the WPS Year-End Awards Gala in Saint Louis, the PUMA Golden Boot Award was presented to Marta for her outstanding performance during the inaugural season as the #1 goal scorer across all of the league’s seven teams.  With an impressive ten goals, Marta’s unofficial title as the best female player in the world stands strong.

  In addition to winning the Golden Boot Award, Marta took home the 2009 Michelle Akers Player of the Year Award, which recognizes the player judged to have the greatest impact on her team’s performance during the WPS regular season.  The winner was selected upon a vote by general managers, player, media and fans.

“My first season in the United States has been a truly rewarding experience, both on and off the field,” said PUMA athlete, Marta.  “I came here to play with the best in the world and I thank PUMA, Los Angeles Sol and WPS for an amazing opportunity.”
