Sky Blue FC won their 3rd game of the season (record now 3-5-3) Wednesday night in front of over 2500 fans (which isn't that bad for a school night on finals week). This is Sky Blue's second consecutive win against the Red Stars and will be playing them one more time in the neat future.

Rosana scored in the 24th minute with no assists. Megan Rapinoe fouled HAO near the touchline near the right corner. Yael Averbuch took the free kick (which was basically like a corner kick actually) and the ball bounced around in the 18 and 6 yard box many times. You have to see the replays because i can't eexplain how much effort it took to get that goal in the back of the net. The Sky Blue kept pounding deflected shots until Rosana scored. truly amazing.

In the second half, Carli Lloyd took a free kick from the top of the 18 box. her attempt was truly amazing as it missed the hands of sbfc gk Jenni Branam, but hit the cross bar.

The Sky Blue outscored the Red Stars 13-8, both teams putting 5 SOGs. Branam recorded 5 saves, One more than Jonsson.
