Week 36: Who Runs the World?

Week 36: Who Runs the World?

Results & Recaps

Alebrijes 0 – 0 Raya 2

For the Oaxacans it’s lost two, drawn four, won bupkus. It’s been tough for them to find the net let alone the knock out punch. [Insert heavy sigh here]

Rosenborg 2 – 1 Vålerenga [F]

In need of a rebound, RBK got it against one of the other Big 4 in the Toppserien. Substitute Sarah Kanutte Fornes delivered the late winner to rally the squad for the rush to the finale.

Freiburg 0 – 1 Eintracht Frankfurt [F]

The ladies of Breigsau held on for a good long while, but couldn’t get the ball over the line.

Grenoble 1 – 0 ASPTT Albi [F]

Les grenobloises got their season off to a solid start. Sherly Jeudy notched the winner and in general the ladies of the Alps celebrated what will *hopefully* be a complete season.

Gonzaga Bulldogs 3 – 0 Montana Grizzlies

The Griz went for the gusto in Spokane, but ended up the worse for wear falling to the tough opponents (Thé Bulldogs now have 22 goals for, 2 against). It’s not been an easy start to the season for the Griz, but with conference play on the horizon, we’ll see how valuable these character building battles have been.

News & Notes

BABY!!!

Grenoble’s return to action came without long time captain Laureen Navas. But with good reason. She has une petite Bebe! A little baby with her own jersey. Start em young!

Get Ready for Chompers

Your favorite tooth brushing companion asked geography questions this week, including one about Oaxaca! It gave me a chance to show you Alebrijes (both real and soccer) and I’ll take that as a win in another rough season for our preferred Mexican side.

Player of the Week

In the interest of spreading the wealth, let’s tip a cap to Sherly Jeudy in Grenoble for starting the season right.

Standings Update

I’m not able to update this week’s standings table, but I can tell you the overall positions didn’t change, but the Griz are at risk of slipping to third.
