Win Your Way into the PUMA Spree!

atl-vip-card-front

Make sure to stop by the PUMA tent at every WPS home game for your chance to get a “Recognize Awesome” Spree Pass that might have the winning number!  During the game, an announcement will be made and the winning number will be read off.  One special fan will have 30 seconds to get from their seat to the retail tent and dress in as much PUMA/WPS gear as possible.  The best part is, whatever the fan manages to put on in those 30 seconds, they get to keep!

All fans should bring their Spree Pass to every game because who knows, just because your number isn’t called in one game, doesn’t mean it won’t be called in the next!  Take a look below for a sneak peak on what the Spree Passes look like for all 8 WPS teams:

This past weekend marked the opening of the second season for Women’s Professional Soccer. Four great matches were played across the country while the Sky Blue FC vs Chicago Red Stars match was broadcasted on FSC. The PUMA Power line was the theme of the weekend as all the teams sported their Power 1 and Power 5 kits, played with the WPS Power ball and more than half the athletes wore their new women’s power c2.10 boots. The new Recognize Awesome campaign made its debut with our new commercial spot launching on FSC and was supported by multiple in-stadium touchpoints including program booklets, fieldboards, in-stadium activations and giveaways. Newly signed PUMA athlete Natasha Kai was a highlight of the weekend and scored Sky Blue’s first goal of the season! 4 more games will be played this upcoming Saturday and Sunday.

 

 See below for a quick snap shot of all the action!

 

Saturday, April 10th

Washington Freedom vs Boston Breakers

Location: Maryland Soccer Plex

Final Score: Boston 2- Freedom 1

Attendance: 3,899

Game Highlights: The Breakers tallied the season’s first goal in the 7th minute when Lauren Cheney tapped the ball in off a Kristine Lilly corner kick.  Thirteen minutes later, Kelly Smith recorded her first goal of the 2010 season to put the Breakers up 2-0.  In the 87th minute, the Freedom’s Abby Wombach connected with teammate Alli Long to score their first goal of the season.

 

Sunday, April 11th

Saint Louis Athletica vs FC Gold Pride

Location: Anheuser-Bush Soccer Park, Fenton, MO

Final Score: Saint Louis 2- FC Gold Pride 0

Attendance: 3,356

Game Highlights: Eniola Aluko struck twice for Athletica as Saint Louis made an early statement in WPS league play. Aluko’s first goal was courtesy of an FC Gold Pride turnover that Shannon Boxx forced. Boxx intercepted a flat pass near the midfield circle and quickly picked out Aluko making a run through the center channel. Boxx’s ball was weighted perfectly, allowing Aluko to finish cleanly past Nicole Barnhart. Aluko’s second came in the 61st minute from a corner kick that Aya Miyama took. Miyama’s corner found Shannon Boxx who headed the ball back through the six-yard box finding Aluko who nodded home for a 2-0 Athletica lead.

 

 

Philadelphia Independence vs Atlanta Beat

Location: John A. Farrell Stadium, West Chester, PA

Final Score: Philadelphia 0- Atlanta 0

Attendance: 6,028

Game Highlights: The first real opportunity for the Independence came in the 7th minute off a through ball from PUMA athlete Amy Rodriguez, which Atlanta keeper Allison Whitworth tipped just wide.  Atlanta’s Mami Yamaguchi, a threatening offensive presence all game, retaliated seconds later putting two shots in a row just outside of the post.  Atlanta’s best opportunity of the game came in the 26th minute when Amanda Cinalli nailed a header off the far post.  In the closing minutes o the first half, Amy Rodriguez pushed forward on the right side, sending a floated cross into the box for midfielder Jen Buczkowski, who was unable to connect cleanly.

 

 

Sky Blue FC vs Chicago Red Stars

Location: Yurcak Field, Piscataway, NJ

Final Score: Sky Blue 1- Chicago 0

Attendance: 4,440

Game Highlights: On the 6th minute tally, Sky Blue’s O’Reilly settled the ball at the top of the box and fed it to newly signed PUMA athlete Natasha Kai in the center of the field. Kai, who led Sky Blue by registering six goals in 2009, needed just one touch to find an opening and struck the ball past Chicago goalkeeper Jillian Loyden to make it 1-0.
