Impact's Brittany Moore Starring in W-League Soccer
Brittany Moore of Lenoir City High is turning heads this summer as a rookie midfielder for the Toronto Lady Lynx women's soccer team of the W-League.

Moore, who is heading into her junior year at Carson-Newman College, tried out for the semi-pro Lynx and not only made the team, but in the words of a league press release, has established herself "as one of the elite playmakers in the entire W-League."

"Brittany is coming off an outstanding college season for Carson-Newman," says Lady Eagles coach Phil McNamara . "So her impact in the W-League thus far is no shock to me."

"Brittany had developed into an excellent player in her two seasons with our program," says McNamara,who also coached Moore and the 87 Lady Impact to a TSSA state title in 2005, her senior year at Lenoir City.

"We talked mid semester about the opportunity in Toronto and the positive influence the experience might have on her game."

"It was important for me that Brittany accepted the challenge of the W-League with confidence," he continues. "With 4 goals and 5 assists in her first 4 games, I would say she is playing with confidence!

"This is a playerwho is simply enjoying life right now, with her soccer game threatening to reach her full potential. It really is exciting to watch!"


Here are excerpts from several W-League game accounts:

In a 2-0 Toronto Lynx victory over the Rochester Rhinos, "midfielder Brittany Moore opened the scoring in the 28th minute when she placed her left-footed strike just inside the top corner, just past a diving Joy McKenzie in the Rochester net. Adrienne Ruhe Lischke earned the assist on Moore's third goal of the year.

In a 2-0 victory over the Vermont Voltage, "Moore added assists on both goals, giving her 4 on the season and establishing the rookie as one of the elite playmakers in the entire W-League."

In a 6-0 rout of the Hamilton (Ont.)Avalanche, "As was the case in Rochester in a 4-0 win over the Rhinos, the Lady Lynx came out flying to start the match.

"Daniela Schwarz, making her Lady Lynx debut, opened the scoring in the 26th minute when she chested a Brittany Moore cross past a helpless Nicole Mercer in the Hamilton goal.

"The Lady Lynx extended their lead three minutes later when Moore's powerful strike caromed off the cross bar to a wide open Stefania Morra who drove the ball home for her second goal of the young season.

"Moore finally notched a goal of her own in the 43rd when she tucked a low cross from Tina Romagnuolo just inside the left post for a three-nil Lady Lynx lead.

"Morra rounded out the first half scoring for the Lady Lynx in injury time to end the first half when she headed home a Moore corner kick for her second goal of the match. The assist was Moore's third on the afternoon, a new team record."
