With apologies to the spring sports that are currently in playoffs, Oly Sports is taking a little break until Monday, May 19th. Thanks!

| OLY: #14 ranked WFTDA team – Montreal: #12 ranked WFTDA team | ||||||||||||
The Oly Rollers took a 65-5 lead midway through the first half and never looked back in their 230-174 dismantling of Montreal Roller Derby’s traveling New Skids on the Block at Skatleland! on Sunday night.
In a chippy, nasty, scrum of a bout, Montreal tightened up in the second half and clawed their way back into the game behind the jamming of Mel E Juana and Miracle Whips but could never get over the hump. They leave the Northwest with an 0-2 record after dropping a bout in Portland last night.
Lindsey Lowblow led the way for Oly, who bounced back from a rough Big O Tournament a couple of weeks ago in Eugene by beating the 12th ranked WFTDA team from Canada.

From Tumwater to the World Cup in Two Years?
Yedlin at Tumwater Stadium in 2012
Yesterday, Seattle Sounders FC defender DeAndre Yedlin was one of 30 players named to the USMNT’s provisional roster for this summer’s World Cup in Brazil. Yedlin is just two seasons removed from his stint with the Sounders U23s team that played the Portland Timbers U23s at Tumwater Stadium. He will take part in the pre-World Cup training camp that starts this week and will hope to make the final 23 man roster that is due to FIFA by June 2nd.
The Sounders U23s and Timbers U23s may bring another future World Cup trialist to town when their rivalry returns to Tumwater Stadium for the third straight year on Sunday, June 15th at 2:00 PM. Tickets are just $10 and are available to purchase here.

In front of a small but eventually vocal crowd at Harry E. Lang Stadium in Lakewood, South Sound FC got second half goals from Pico Rubio and Scotty Hanson to knock off Wenatchee United, 2-1, in their home opener.
After a back and forth first 25 minutes that saw a handful of chance for both teams and a couple of outstanding saves by South Sound FC keeper Chris Kintz, the Shock took over and dominated possession for the majority of the rest of the game. They were unable to take advantage until the 61st minute when Rubio gathered a pass from Daniel Gray and skimmed a shot from just inside the box and around the Wenatchee keeper for their first goal at home in Evergreen Premier League play.
Minutes later, Gray sent a corner kick into the box and Hanson’s header found the back of the net to put SSFC up 2-0 in the 75th minute. Wenatchee responded a minute later with a goal from Christian Nyafore in the 76th minute to cut the deficit to 2-1. But the Shock didn’t allow Wenatchee many opportunities over the final 15 minutes and held on for the win.
The Shock are now 3-0 in the young EPLWA season, tied with Bellingham United for first place. They will return to the Lang Stadium pitch on Sunday, May 18th against the Spokane Spiders at 2:00 PM.
