By Wednesday night, some of the Athletica players were headed to their year-round homes. Backup goalie Jillian Loyden was on her way back to New Jersey after the game. Lisa Stoia is headed back to West Virginia, to resume her duties as…

Athletica forward Eniola Aluko is in Europe right now for England’s game against Iceland on Thursday, but after the game, she will to Washington and join the team for Saturday’s game against the Freedom. England is also supposed to play Denmark…

Usually when I talk to Athletica coach Jorge Barcellos, assistant coach Carlos Machado translates. (I feel real sorry for Carlos.) But after Sunday’s win in the Bay Area, Barcellos was willing to go without a translator.

Not surprisingly, Athletica backup goalie Jillian Loyden was named the WPS player of the week. (I say not surprisingly because a) I voted for her, so I know she had at least one vote, and b) because no player in…
