  SACRAMENTO, CA (06/13/11) - If the previous weekend of action in the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) was a showcase of the respective offensive attacks of our member teams, this past weekend proved to be the opposite. There were a lot of tight results in key matches with teams battening down the hatches while scoring key, timely goals.

In two key division matches in the East-Mid-Atlantic and Midwest-North Divisions, two young & up-and-coming goalkeepers would notch shutouts against teams who are considered the cream of their respective divisional crops.

Therefore, the performances of New York Athletic Club's Tatiana Saunders and Eclipse Select's Erin Dees against two-time WPSL champion Long Island Fury and 2010 WPSL Semifinalist F.C. Milwaukee, respectively, earn the duo WPSL Co-Player Of The Week honors for the fifth edition of our weekly awards. For the full lineup of the WPSL Team Of The Week, see below:
