Two-Goal Game Earns O'Brien Honorable Mention

Jersey Sky Blue striker Michele O'Brien earned an honorable mention for the W-League Team of the Week for the final week of the regular season. The Republic of Ireland National Team player accounted for all the scoring in a 2-0 victory over the Northern Virginia Majestics on the final day of the season.

Sky Blue wrapped up its second season in the W-League with an 8-4-2 record finishing just three points out a spot in the W-League playoffs. O'Brien closed the season with three goals - all in the final three games of the season.

Sky Blue Handles Majestics, Misses Out on Postseason

Michele O'Brien buried two goals to lead Jersey Sky Blue to a 2-0 victory over the Northern Virginia Majestics but it wasn't enough to lift Sky Blue into the W-League playoffs as the second-year franchise missed out on the postseason. Sky Blue finished the season with an 8-4-2 mark and ended up in fourth place in the Northeast Division - three points out of the playoffs.

Heading into the day's action, Sky Blue needed a loss from the Long Island Rough Riders and a victory over the Majestics to qualify for the Eastern Conference playoffs. Sky Blue did its job but so did Long Island as the Rough Riders blew out the New Jersey Wildcats 5-0 in Long Island. The victory catapulted the Rough Riders into second place behind division winners the Washington Freedom as the Boston Renegades dropped into third place.

Freedom Blow Past Sky Blue Dimming Playoff Chances

Three different players hit the back of the net as the Washington Freedom dimmed Jersey Sky Blue's playoff chances with a 3-0 victory at the Maryland SoccerPlex. Christie Welsh and Jenn Parsons struck in the first half and Ali Andrzejewski connected just after halftime for the Freedom, which moved to the top of the Northeast Division with the victory.

Sky Blue still stands in third place in the Northeast at 7-4-2 with the top three teams advancing but Jersey has played more games than all the other front runners. The loss was the first on the road for Sky Blue in club history as Jersey fell to 12-1-1 all-time away from home.

Sky Blue Hit the Road Hoping to Knock Off Freedom

Jersey Sky Blue will be seeking to keep its postseason hopes alive on Saturday when it travels to Boyds, MD to take on the Washington Freedom. Sky Blue will battle the defending W-League champions at 7 p.m. at the Maryland SoccerPlex.

The two teams head into the next-to-last weekend of the regular season near the top of the Northeast Division standings. Sky Blue currently sits in second place in the division with a 7-3-2 mark for 23 points – two behind the Boston Renegades (8-2-1) with 25 points. The Freedom is 7-1-1 for 22 points and fourth place but with a grueling close to the season.
