3. SKY BLUE FC
Gee whiz, everyone—We are having 1-0 victories left and right this week, aren't we?
This week, Sky Blue FC got the upper hand against the Boston Breakers at Yurcak Field on Independence Day.
Heather O'Reilly and Jenni Branam were instrumental in earning important points for Kelly Lindsey's club.
In the sixth minute, O'Reilly's corner kick sent one past the hands of Breakers goalkeeper Allison Lipsher. Overall, Sky Blue FC outshot Boston 13-12.
Branam made five saves in earning her fourth clean sheet of the year minding the nets for the Jersey girls. Her biggest stop came late in the match, when she cleared away a shot from Breakers substitute Jennifer Nobis.
Sky Blue FC had a number of opportunities to open scoring proceedings even further.
In the 32nd minute, Kacey White's feed to Rosana saw Lipsher come off her line to make the save, while a 22-yard volley from Collette McCallum in the 35th dinged off the crossbar.
Sky Blue FC is now just a single point behind the Breakers for the final playoff spot. An opportunity for the resurgent Ladies of Lindsey to overtake Boston awaits inside Harvard Stadium on Sunday, July 12.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. ET and will be televised by Fox Soccer Channel.
