Continuing the curse of some storm god, another week of nice weather led into a brutally sudden switch in winds and temperature for the Freedom’s game against the Boston Breakers on Saturday. There were high winds throughout the day, tempered with a nice dose of sunshine in a clear blue sky. But as the game [...]

After an extremely disappointing showing by DC United, the Freedom took on the St. Louis Athletica in a doubleheader at RFK Stadium in Washington DC. RFK was the site of three Washington Freedom/DC United doubleheaders last year, but the format was reversed this year, with the Freedom playing at 6 after United’s kickoff at 4. [...]

The Freedom welcomed the Atlanta Beat to a 3-1 loss last night at a cold and windy Maryland SoccerPlex.

After some dangerously loose balls on both sides, the Freedom had a corner shot in by Sonia Bompastor. Abby Wambach rose to knock it into the goal in the 44th minute. The surge of adrenaline was quickly [...]

It was a beautiful spring evening with an energetic crowd, a class opponent, and a noisy debut from we Bravehearts, who drummed, stomped and sang for 90 minutes. I know some blood was shed by the drummers, and those Bravehearts more advanced in age were definitely feeling it the next day, being far from [...]

The Freedom met their nearest and newest rivals, the expansion Philadelphia Independence, today at the soccerplex for a friendly match. Despite an amazing shot from Allie Long in the opening 3 minutes from a free kick from just outside the box that caromed off the Independence cross bar, and thanks to a later good save [...]

Welcome Home, Christie Welsh!

OK, so we’re a bit behind on this, but in case you hadn’t heard, the Freedom resigned Christie Welsh for the 2010 season. Christie may have spent the 2009 WPS season with LA and St. Louis, but she has a storied history with the Freedom organization, including being a part of the 2007 W-League [...]
