ECFC WPSL to play in Shoreline, GoalWA.net article

SHORELINE, WA.— Emerald City Football Club of the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) will play their league home matches at Woolsey Stadium (artificial surface) on the campus of Kings High School in Shoreline this spring and summer. Last year the club played at Interbay Stadium in Magnolia, just north of downtown Seattle.

This is just one of the updates sent to goalWA by head coach Niki Taylor, who is also the commissioner of the Northwest Division in the WPSL.

Emerald City debuted in the league last season and were instantly very difficult to beat. The club amassed a number of draws that eventually saw them just miss out on the playoffs. Now a core group of players is set to join a larger contingent in hopes of taking that next post-season step.
Taylor tells goalWA.net that 25 players are lined up thus far. Ten of those are returners who contributed significant minutes in 2012.

Emerald City FC team, M95 Green, featured in NPL NW round up

Emerald City FC M95 Green, headed to 2013 NPL Champions Cup

Boys U-17: Emerald City FC M95 Green (11-2-1)

With former West Ham United player and U.S. U-20 men’s national team coach Bobby Howe in charge, you’d expect Emerald City FC M95 Green to be a sharp group, and the team didn’t disappoint.

Second-place FCSC Boca Juniors took four points from their two head-to-head meetings, but outside of that, Howe’s bunch was too much. They led the division in goals scored (43) and fewest goals allowed (13) to win by a three-point margin.

"The Emerald City FC M95 Green team is very excited to participate in the NPL Champions Cup,” Howe said. “Not only will it represent our achievements in winning the Washington State Premier League, but it will also be the highlight of many of our players’ careers in youth soccer."
