Massive Attack Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 Hooper narrowly misses on pair of shots and Courage and Beat play to 0-0 tie http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Soccer/2003/06/14/111379-ap.html CARY, N.C. (AP) - Carolina goalkeeper Kristin Luckenbill made five saves, and Atlanta's Melanie Wilson stopped nine shots as the Courage and Beat played a 0-0 tie Saturday night. Carolina (3-5-2), which had won two straight, was shut out for the first time this season. Danielle Fotopoulos' goal-scoring streak was snapped at five games. Atlanta (4-2-4) has scored just two goals in three games, going 0-1-2. Carolina's best chance in the first half came in the 32nd minute, when Birgit Prinz centred a ball from her left across the 6-yard box to a wide-open Venus James, who headed the ball wide left. Atlanta's Charmaine Hooper of Ottawa missed with a header in the 37th minute and kicked high in the 90th minute. Both teams were missing players because of national team duties. Atlanta goalkeeper Brian Scurry and midfielder Cindy Parlow joined the U.S. women's team against Ireland in Salt Lake City, while Homare Sawa joined Japan. Carolina played without U.S. midfielder Tiffany Roberts and defender Danielle Slaton.

mtlfan Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 I'm curious to know why Slaton and the other Americans were sent to play with the US national team while Boyd did't and won't play for Canada vs Mexico June 12th and 15th. I hope this was Pellerud's idea. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
