TAMPA
,
FL
– United Soccer
Leagues announced Wednesday its USL W-League and Premier
Development League Teams of the Week for the seventh
week of the season, honoring Hampton Roads’ Jessica
Hussey and
Rhode Island
’s David Badecki
as the Players of the Week, respectively.
A
rare start for Hampton Roads saw them winless through
four with 12 goals allowed on the season until Jessica
Hussey stepped in front of the net Saturday against the
star-studded Atlanta Silverbacks, one of the favorites
to reach the W-League championship tournament.
The
Piranhas keeper would have a phenomenal game in her
first outing with the club, stopping numerous one-on-one
attempts and making 10 saves on the night.
In
three minutes of stoppage time at the close of the game
and with a 2-1 lead over the visitors,
Atlanta
would pressure the Piranhas goal numerous times with
Hussey making two diving saves to preserve the win and
avenge a season sweep from the year before.
The
James Madison keeper joined the Piranhas from a two-year
stint with the Richmond Kickers Destiny, where she
posted a
6-8-0
record with four shutouts. In 2002, the Canada-native
was
3-2-2
with two shutouts with the Ottawa Fury.
The
Rhode Island Stingrays broke loose with first-year
midfielder David Badecki leading them past the Delaware
Dynasty by a 7-2 scoreline.
Delaware
got on the board a minute in and after two strikes from
forward Lukasz Tumicz made it 2-1 in the 13th, Badecki
took over, scoring the next two strikes in the 28th
and 46th minutes.
The
Polish sophomore from the
University
of
Rhode Island
finished the hat-trick in the 81st to make it
7-1, moving the Stingrays into second place in the
division
3-2-0
, one point behind
Cape Cod
.
