No team in W-League history has ever captured three titles in a row and the Blues know even the greatest journey starts with a single step. On the heels of the May 22nd’s celebratory exhibition match – featuring the charity Guinness World Record Attempt – the Blues begin their title defense in earnest when the Santa Clarita Blue Heat return to the Stadium-by-the-Sea, this time with points on the line (For more on the three-peat check out the adjacent clip from Fox Soccer Channel on the Blues’ 2010 season).
Fans with young ones are encouraged to arrive at the stadium early as the Girl Scouts of Los Angeles will be offering a variety of fun activities starting at 3pm including on-field warm ups, First Aid lessons, and octopus tag!
The Girl Scouts of America will also be collecting USED SOCCER EQUIPMENT (cleats, shin guards, and old jerseys) so be sure to empty your car trunks and closets.
Once the starting whistle blows fans will have a chance to watch the back-to-back national champions in action, featuring a roster bolstered by two stout additions: Michelle Wenino and Midori Isokane. Wenino joins the Blues from the Chicago Red Stars of WPS after four years dominating the Big 12 at Colorado. Midori Isokane is yet another Japanese International, and teammate of Blues marksman Hikari Nakade on the Japanese U-20 team. Fresh off a 10 hour flight Midori stepped onto the Blues practice field this weekend and laced two shots from distance into the upper ninety during an end of session scrimmage. Look out W-League, the Blues are coming!
