Women's Professional Soccer officially opened online voting Monday at their website (http://www.womensprosoccer.com/) for fans to select their choices for the league's major 2010 postseason awards.
Voting is open through September 6 and fans can cast as many votes as possible for their favorites to win in five categories -- Michelle Akers Player of the Year, MedImmune Defender of the Year, US Coast Guard Goalkeeper of the Year, WPS Rookie of the Year and WPS Coach of the Year.
Nominees for the awards were selected by a panel of media members and WPS team personnel, who will also get an equal 33% representation in the final voting process.
