Philly Soccer Show: Independence in Women's Pro Soccer Championship Match
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Women's soccer leads the way this week on the KYW Philly Soccer Show.
KYW's Greg Orlandini is joined by Philly Soccer Page writer Eli Pearlman-Storch and PSP's Philadelphia Independence beat writer Mike Servedio.
The Independence heads to Rochester, NY to face the Western New York Flash for the WPS crown.
In Part one we break down the Independence's win over MagicJack that took them to the finals. Tasha Kai and back-in-form striker Amy Rodriguez each had a goal in the 2-0 win. But the Flash are a tough opponent, boasting several stars from this year's Women's World Cup.
