Women’s Professional Soccer

                Final Team Standings and Playoff Results

and the only fully professional women’s soccer league in the country.
The league began play in 2009 with 7 teams.  Although budgeted lower 
than the ill-fated USA, the league’s financial footing is much more 
solid, and it was able to attract much of the best world talent to 
take part in its inaugural season.  Their webpage is at
