Southside Soccer Club hosts WPS Debut Party
Women’s professional soccer—the concept—returned to America on Sunday with the smashing debut of Women’s Professional Soccer—the league. A crowd of 14,832, more than double the league’s high-end goal for average attendance, helped make for a festive atmosphere at The Home Depot Center where the host Los Angeles Sol posted a 2-0 victory over the Washington Freedom. Allison Falk’s name was etched in eternal history as the scorer of the very first WPS goal.
“I feel like today just caps the undertaking of so many people,” said Abby Wambach, who played 90 minutes for the Freedom in her first match since breaking her leg last summer. “(WPS Commissioner) Tonya Antonucci first and foremost. She’s the one who started it. Finally we have a day. This is the day.”

Southside Soccer Club Ireland win 2009 Nomads
[La Jolla, California - March 16th, 2009] On the campus of UC San Diego the Southside SC Ireland defeated the West Coast FC entry in the U14 Girls division of the prestigious Nomads Coaches Showcase Tournament.
SSC Ireland defender Jill Farley had this to say about her team and the tournament: “Firstly, I would like to say how much I love each and everyone of these girls. I appreciate them very much, and I’m very thankful that I am able to be on such a kind and talented team. our team bond is very special, in a way that every girl gets a long and we all have fun together, including our coach Gaff. Some of my best friends are on the team and they have made a huge impact on my life.
Even though the roster has changed several times in the past few years, the heart of the team has not. I believe Ireland has the most dedication and desire I have ever experienced, and each player completely deserves to be on the team. There is a lot of potential that will take some of these girls very far, and I can’t wait to see where we go as a team and individually. Our success at Nomads was very exciting and fun, it was a great team bonding trip. We even got a suprise trip to the beach! We are really looking forward to state cup, and working hard to do well!”
