Washington Freedom

The Washington Freedom is playing 15 games in the W-League, the highest level of women's soccer in the country. The Freedom won its first two games, and the team opens its home schedule this weekend with games in Germantown. The games are fun, fast-paced and let kids get close to the players as well as the action on the pitch.
The Freedom has two games this weekend:
· Saturday at 7 p.m. against the Western Mass Lady Pioneers.
· Sunday at 6 p.m. against the Boston Renegades.
Tickets are $10 each for everyone ages 5 and older. All games are played at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Germantown.
The team is loaded with top stars including forward Christie Welsh, the high scorer on the 2005 U.S. women's national team. Lots of the Freedom players are local stars who also coach area teams.
