    TeamUp Fantasy AUDL Power Rankings (6/24 - 6/30) https://www.teamupfantasy.com/ 1. New York Empire The Empire are still in the number one spot this week. Last weekend they had a game against the Thunderbirds and won easily. They should get another win against the Cannons next week. A real test for the Empire will be in two weeks, when they face the Breeze. 2. Chicago Union Chicago had a great weekend; they beat the Mechanix 30-13 and advanced to 3-0 on the season. Danny Miller played extremely well for them and earned player of the game from the Union. Their next game is against the AlleyCats, who have only beaten the Mechanix this year. 3. DC Breeze The game last weekend for the Breeze was amazing. Their offense and defense both had completion percentages above 90. Young players such as Jacques Nissen and Duncan Fitzgerald stepped up and played well. A.J. Merriman had a huge performance with 3 blocks and 6 scores. They are moving up a spot this week. 4. Raleigh Flyers The Flyers are moving down a spot this week, but that is only because the Breeze played exceptionally well. The Flyers got their first win of the season last weekend and have an easier schedule on the horizon. The next three games they play should be easy wins. 5. Dallas Roughnecks Dallas is staying in the same spot this week. They have only played two games and are currently 1-1. Even though they have only played two games, they did beat a good Aviators team this week.

  • Teamup AUDL Power Rankings
    TeamUp Fantasy AUDL Power Rankings (7/8 - 7/14) https://www.teamupfantasy.com/ 1. Chicago Union The Union have earned the number one spot this week. They are now 5-0 after their win against the Radicals. Chicago's offense has so many weapons and they manage to take smart shots. In their game this past weekend, their defense played better than they have before. If they keep up this level of play they will have a good shot at the title. 2. DC Breeze DC is moving up a spot this week. Last weekend they beat the Empire in impressive fashion. They won by three, but New York scored a couple goals in the final minutes of the game. DC’s offense performed extremely well - as they always do - and their defense managed to get a ton of run through Ds. 3. New York Empire New York is stepping down from their pedestal this week. After being at the top for the first five weeks of the season, the Empire lost to the Breeze. The Empire allowed the Breeze to get too many run through Ds that could have been fixed. The Empire are still a great team and are still scary to face. 4. Raleigh Flyers The Flyers managed to beat the Cannons last week. With that being said, they are staying in the number four spot this week. They have another game against the Cannons next week, which should be another easy win. This team has a lot of potential to make it deep into the playoffs this year.

  • Teamup AUDL Power Rankings
    TeamUp Fantasy AUDL Power Rankings (7/29 - 8/4) https://www.teamupfantasy.com/ 1. Atlanta Hustle Atlanta proved why they should be number one last weekend. They played the Empire and put on a clinic, winning by a score of 22-21. The junky zone the Hustle use makes opposing offenses make a lot of throws and increases the chance of a turnover. Atlanta’s defense works together well in this zone, almost looking like a machine. 2. New York Empire The Empire may have lost, but they are still moving up this week. They have locked it in after a couple shaky performances earlier in the season. Losing to the Hustle by just one is nothing to be ashamed of. Babbitt carried the Empire’s defense and got 4 blocks last week. 3. Chicago Union The Union are moving down a spot this week, but they didn’t play terribly. They beat the Wind Chill, who only had one loss before that game. Minnesota collected 13 blocks against them, but besides that they only had 7 other turnovers. Their offense, which is led by Janas, valued the disc and made the Wind Chill earn their turnovers. 4. DC Breeze The Breeze did not have a game last weekend, which could be a good or bad thing. They get rest, but this also gives them more time to think about their loss to the Hustle two weeks ago. Next week they face the Phoenix, which should be a win for the Breeze. 5. Raleigh Flyers Raleigh was another team that did not have a game last weekend.

  • Exploring the High School Sports Experiences of Female Athletes
    THROUGH HER EYES: EXPLORING THE HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS EXPERIENCES OF FEMALE ATHLETES Megan L. Valentine A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF EDUCATION August 2006 Committee: Nancy E. Spencer, Advisor Artemisia Apostolopoulou Sally Ross © 2006 Megan L. Valentine All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Nancy E. Spencer, Advisor The purpose of this study was to ascertain the high school sports experiences of female athletes. In an attempt to obtain a better understanding of these experiences, focus group and individual interview sessions were conducted with twelve intercollegiate athletes who were members of Division I soccer and volleyball teams at a mid-sized Midwestern University in the United States. This study examined the role that socializing agents such as parents, coaches, teammates/peers, and the media play in both positively and negatively influencing the sports experiences of these female athletes. Results revealed overwhelming support for the value that agents play in introducing athletes to sports and providing continued support throughout their sports careers. Results also showed that negative interaction with certain socializing agents sometimes led athletes to sacrifice other aspects of their social lives and at times led them to consider quitting sports. In some instances, athletes did quit their sports teams due to negative interactions. Additionally, sports participation allowed athletes to formulate their identities around sports. Based on the results of this study, I suggest that more educational opportunities need to be provided for various socializing influences such as parents, coaches, teammates/peers, and the media, all of whom impact the participation experiences of girls and women in sport.

The Boston Breakers find themselves right in the mix. The longest-running professional women’s soccer team in U.S. history, the Breakers have roots dating back more than a decade. The franchise was established in 2000, debuting in the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) in 2001. The Breakers competed for three seasons in WUSA before the league folded. When Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) was formed in the fall of 2007, the Breakers joined the league and began play when WPS officially launched its first season in 2009. The Breakers played three seasons in WPS (2009-2011) before the league suspended operations in 2011. In their three WPS seasons, the Breakers reached the playoffs twice. In 2012, the Breakers played in the eight-team WPSL Elite League, which featured eight teams from the Midwest and up and down the East Coast.
