Weber Scores Game-Winner For Athletica Over Sky Blue

Melissa Tancredo's assist on Elise Weber's goal in the 84th minute was the game winner as the St. Louis Athletica edged Sky Blue FC, 2-1, in Women's Professional Soccer play Sunday at Rutgers University.

St. Louis scored fast as Lori Chalupny assisted Eniola Aluko on a goal in the second minute, which Sky would counter in the 76th minute from Julianne Sitch.

The victory allowed the Athletica to climb to third in the league standings at 5-5-2 with 17 points. They will travel to Santa Clara, CA July 5 to play FC Gold Pride.

Sky Blue, who hosts the Boston Breakers on the Fourth of July, are 3-6-3 with 12 points and tied with the Pride for fifth with the same record.
