Breakers claim third successive win

Soccer Betting Lines

07/19/2010 - Cambridge, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Breakers earned their third straight win on Sunday as they downed the Washington Freedom, 2-1, at Harvard Stadium.

The Freedom took the lead just two minutes into the game through Nikki Marshall, but after Boston grabbed the equalizer from Liz Bogus, Jordan Angeli scored the winning goal 15 minutes from time.

Boston had won just one of its first 10 games this season prior to its three- game winning streak, and the Breakers are now only two points back of third- place Sky Blue FC.

Washington is just one point clear of Boston as the Freedom has gone winless in their last seven matches.

Sarah Huffman set up Marshall's goal in the opening minutes, and she nearly scored again in the 17th minute when she was left alone with goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, but had her shot saved.

Boston leveled the match in the 23rd minute when Kelly Smith played a good through ball to Bogus and she slid the ball underneath goalkeeper Erin McLeod, making it a 1-1 game.

Naeher produced key saves in the second half on Sonia Bompastor and Marshall before the winning goal arrived in the 75th minute as Angeli volleyed home a loose ball that came free from a corner kick.

FC Gold Pride moved 10 points clear at the top of the WPS table as Christine Sinclair scored both goals in a 2-0 win over the second-place Philadelphia Independence, while the Atalanta Beat won for the second time this season as Eniola Aluko's first-half goal stood up in a 1-0 win over Sky Blue FC.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
