Mulligan #1


For 6 seasons the Sharks were led by legendary quarterback Val Halesworth. Halesworth routinely ranked as one of the best passing quarterbacks in women's football. She holds numerous league and Sharks records. So it was a blow when she left the team. Who could fill those shoes?

Surprisingly the answer was already on the team. Karen Mulligan had joined the team in 2003 and started off on defense and at tight end. She proved to be quite a capable blocker and receiver. In 2006 Mulligan was named the starting quarterback without having played a down before. She quickly proved that not only could she run the ball well but had a strong arm too.

At the halfway point of the season, Mulligan is the number 1 rated quarterback of all Tier 1 teams in the IWFL. Her stats are 46 completions out 88 attempts for 773 yards, and 10 touchdowns with 3 interceptions for a QB rating of 105.92 which puts her ahead of Allison Cahill of Boston who has a QB rating of 94.46. Halesworth still has it and is in 4th place with a QB rating of 94.13.

So far this year she has thrown 6 touchdowns of over 30 yards, including a new team record for the longest touchdown pass play of 98 yards. That was done against the Connecticut Crush where Adrienne Smith was the receiver. She also was named the POWERADE ZERO Player of the Week for her performance against the Philadelphia Firebirds.

Game Day: Divas at Sharks




Brooklyn, New York, May 16, 2009
It was a foggy day at the Aviator Sports Complex as the New York Shakrs (3-2) hosted the D. C. Divas (4-0). Both teams represent some of the best in women's football with strong defenses. The teams have played each other 3 times in the past with the Divas holding a 2-1 edge in the rivalry. Each game was always a defensive struggle and this game was not expected to be any different as the Divas have the strongest defense in the league only giving up 7 points this year.

The Sharks were looking to attack the Divas defense with their fine passing attack, but that was dealt a blow just before game time as starting quarterback Karen Mulligan was a late scatch with an injury. This thrust Adrienne Smith into the starting role. Smmith has had some experience at quarterback but had taken very few snaps this year. Yet her speed brings a different element to the Sharks offense and it took awhile for D.C. to adjust.

To help Smith in the backfield was running back Mandy Oppel. Oppel usually plays offense and defense, but to keep her fresh the Sharks coaches did not put Oppel in on defense. This was a big help as Oppel rushed the ball 23 times a personal best for 83 yards.

The Sharks won the coin toss and had elected to receive. Throwing caution to the wind, the Sharks came out throwing but could not connect thus forcing them to punt after 3 plays.

The Divas on the other hand went to their running attack. They grinded out some yardage from running back Tiffany Matthews and moved the ball to the Sharks' 36-yard line. They then tried to go to the air, but quarterback Allyson Hamlin's pass was intercepted by Brooke McKinney at the 20-yard line and she returned it for 23 yards.

On the Sharks next possession, they methodically marched down the field. Oppel and Smith were able to advance the ball on the ground and then Smith hit wide receiver Jen Blum for a 26 yard gain to the Divas' 20-yard line and a first down. The Sharks were threatening but the closest they could get was to the 15 yard line after a 5-yard run by Oppel.

D.C. had just dodged a bullet but it was not long before they had their backs against the wall again. The Sharks defense stopped D.C. cold on their drive and forced them to punt from their own 15-yard line. After the punt New York had great field position on the Divas' 32-yard line.

Oppel was the workhorse on this drive as she got the ball 5 times and picked up 38 yards. But at the D.C. 7-yard line, the Divas defense put up their brick wall and stopped runs by Lauren Pringle and Smith for no gain. Oppel was able to get it down to the 4-yard line but on 4th down, the Sharks went for it but Smith's pass was knocked away in the endzone to stop the threat.

New York's defense proved stellar again forcing D.C. to punt on their next possession. Again the Sharks had great field position, this time on the Divas' 41-yard line. Again the Sharks looked to Oppel to carry the load. She carried the ball 4 times for 17-yards. A nice pass play from Smith to Lisa Doran picked up another 15 yards. The Sharks got all the way to the 10-yard line when they were stopped again by the Divas.

At halftime, the game was still scoreless. The New York defense was playing great holding D.C. pretty much in check for the first half. The Sharks offense was also playing well with 3 drives into the Divas' red zone. But New York could not capitalize on those opportunities and that eventually hurt their chance in the game.

The second half started with the Sharks kicking off to D.C. Starting from their own 28-yard line, the Divas offense started to click. Alternating handoffs between Matthews and Okiima Pickett they marched 71 yards to the New York 1-yard line. From there Claudia Hogan smashed the ball in to break the scoreless tie. The extra point attempt by Kathryn Hemlock was no good, but the Divas had taken the lead 6-0 with 11 minutes left to go in the third quarter.

On the Divas next possession, they seemed to be gaining some confidence in their running attack. It was fourth down and they had the ball on their own 31-yard line with only inches to go. Instead of playing it cautiously, the D.C. braintrust went for it but the Sharks defense stopped Matthews in her tracks for no gain and New York took over the ball in great field position. But again the Divas defense held the New Yorkers at bay.

D.C. mixed up their attack on the next go around and were more successful. Runs by Matthews of 15 and 18 yards were augmented with receptions by Tara Stephenson of 26 and 14-yards moved the ball all the way down to the Sharks' 1-yard line. From there Hamlin called her own number to put D.C. up by 2 touchdowns. Matthews ran in the 2-point conversion and the Divas lead 14-0 with 10 minutes left in the game.

Down by 14 points, New York had to go to the air but D.C. knew it and the Sharks were quickly forced to punt. With the defense not getting much of a breather, the Divas grinded out another touchdown on the ground. Most of it on the legs of Pickett as she gained 41 yards on 5 carries. The scoring play though was an 8-yard pass from Hamlin to Tara Kallal. Hemlock kicked the extra point to give D.C. a 21 point lead.

New York didn't give up as Smith kept to the air. Starting from their own 30-yard line the Sharks got a quick gain on a 15-yard penalty for roughing the passer against D.C. Then Smith methodically connected with her receivers 4 straight times to get the Sharks down to the D.C. 1-yard line. This was the fourth time the Sharks got into the red zone but this time they scored when Oppel ran the ball in for the score. Pringle converted the extra point and New York averted a shutout with less than 2-minutes left in the game.

The loss dropped the Sharks to 3-2 and tied for second place with the New York Nemesis in the North Atlantic Division. It was a hard fought battle against one of the best teams in league. Even without the availability of their starting quarterback the New Yorkers held their own, especially on defense. They kept on coming up big but seemed to tire a bit at the end. On offense, Smith proved quite capable of leading the Sharks in her first start as the field general. She was inconsistent at times, but that should prove to improve as she get more experience under her belt.

The Sharks have a bye week to enjoy the Memorial Day holiday. They will then hit the road up I-95 to take on the New England Intensity. It is an important game as a loss will mathematically eliminate them from any playoff hopes. Game time is 4:00pm (EDT) in Medway, Massachusetts. If you cannot make it to the park, you can follow the game with Pat Brown and Dave Maxwell describe all the hard hitting action on WFNradio.

Worst 5

Last week we listed the top 5 broadcasting venues, this week the worst 5. This list was much easier to compile than the top 5.

1) Southern Maine (Old Orchard Beach - home of the Southern Maine Rebels in 2005) It had rained heavily in Maine just days before the game. The story we were told was that the main field that the teams were to use was not in good playing condition. The administrators of the high school had the teams play on an adjacent practice field which had no stands and no press box. This is probably the most extreme conditions we had to broadcast in. The weather was very cold and damp. To broadcast the game we had to borrow a player's mini-van to climb on top of so we can get a higher view of the field. Pat Brown and Dave Maxwell climbed on top of the van and stayed up there for the 2 1/2 hours to do the broadcast. There was no electrical outlets so we used a car battery.

2) Montreal - This game was played in a public park. A make-shift field was set-up on the grounds and there was no scoreboard, no stands, and no press box. There was also no van available to sit on top of and after the experience in Maine, I don't think that would have been a viable option. Instead our intrepid broadcast crew announced the game from a building next to the field. But it was not from inside the building, it was from a ledge on the second floor. This way they would get a better view of the action below. Again we had to use a car battery for electricity. At least the weather wasn't as bad as Maine, but to make matters more difficult, there was a big tree between the building and the playing field to block a clear view of the field.

3) Manchester (West Memorial Field, current home of the Manchester Freedom) - the field was just renovated but the new press box was quite small. We ended up broadcasting from the old press box on the other side of the field. The structure was a long wooden box that was waiting to be torn down. There was no lights and no electricity but there was plenty of room, splinters, and spiders.

4) Baltimore This was another al fresco game. There was no press box so the broadcast was done from the stands. Again we used a car battery for electricity. The weather was fine so this wasn't really that bad. During the broadcast Dave Maxwell would talk to some of the fans sitting next to us.

5) Southern Maine (Fitgerald Field, home of the Southern Maine Rebels in 2006) Fitgerald Field is a very old municipal field used by the high schools in Portland. The press box was a very long rickety wooden structure with many individual rooms. We were able to get our own space but it was kind of cramped and very splintery. From the inside it looked like a bunch of plywood boards nailed together.

Honorable Mention (Brooklyn Tech) Another game with no press box, another game done outside. This time it was done from the roof of the high school. The view was from the endzone looking down to the other endzone. There was a small portable scoreboard but it could not be seen from the roof. A cellular phone was used to contact a spotter to give us how much time was left in the game. We were about 4 stories up but this time we were able to get a very long extension cord to provide electricity. The crew did the broadcast behind classroom desks. Luckily the weather was very nice and there was a nice view of the Empire State Building in the distance.

Game Day: Crushers at Sharks




Brooklyn, New York, May 9, 2009
The New York Sharks (3-1) could ill afford to look towards their next opponent the D.C. Divas. Though that game could be one of the better games of the year in the IWFL, a loss to the Connecticut Crushers (0-4) would basically knock the Sharks out of any playoff contention.

It was supposed to rain later in the day but the skies held as the Crushers won the coin toss and elected to receive. The fear of taking the winless Connecticut team too lightly was quickly dispelled during the first drive of the game.

On defense, the Sharks actually pushed the Crushers back a yard and forced them to punt after only 3 plays. On offense, New York took their first drive 55 yards all the way into the endzone. Using a well balanced attack of pass and run plays, the Sharks scored in 7 plays. The bulk of the yardage was gained by Lisa Doran, but the scoring play was a 17 yard pass from Karen Mulligan to Mandy Oppel. Lauren Pringle kicked the extra point and the Sharks were on the board first with 9:47 to go in the first quarter.

On the Crushers second drive of the game they fared better and was able to move the ball down to the Sharks' 35-yard line before their offense sputtered. Connecticut elected to punt the ball on fourth down and punter Christine Huber kicked a beauty. Her kick was downed by the Crushers at the New York 2 yard line.

On first down Mulligan took the snap and while standing deep in her own endzone, found wide receiver Adrienne Smith open on the left side. She connected with Smith at the 27-yard line and then Smith turned on the jets and streaked down the sideline, not stopping until she got to the endzone. The 98-yard touchdown reception was the longest in Sharks' history, eclipsing the old record of 94-yards on a pass to Kathy Holloman from quarterback Val Halesworth in 2004. Pringle was successfully converted the extra point and New York was ahead 14-0.

It didn't take long for New York to strike again. After another 3 and out for Connecticut, Huber was punting from her own 29-yard line. She got off a decent punt and rookie Chante Bonds was back to catch the ball at the Sharks' 44-yard line. Bonds ran to her right and with lots of blocking help, ran it all the way into the endzone for another hometown score. Pringle missed the extra point attempt, but the Sharks were comfortably ahead 20-0 at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, New York's defense held Connecticut pretty much in check. On offense, the Sharks did add one more score on a 5-yard run by running back Vivian Alberty. That was the capper on a 8-play drive. Again Pringle missed the extra point try but the score was 26-0 at halftime.

With a commanding lead, the New York offense main goal was to eat away at the clock. Most of the plays in the second half were on the gound. This approach did not lead to any more scores by the offense but that still did not prevent the Sharks from scoring the rest of the game.

On Connecticut's first drive of the second half, linebacker Christine Pagan. playing in first game since injuring her leg in the season opener, picked off a Kristin Fillian pass at the Crushers' 35-yard line. Pagan then raced into the endzone for another New York score. This time Pringle split the uprights on the extra point attempt to widen the lead to 33-0.

The Crushers' next drive showed a little bit more success. After the kick-off Fillian was able to lead her team down to the Sharks' 15-yard line. She could have got them even closer as she threw a completed pass to wide receiver Huber at the 5-yard line. Huber had to leap into the air to catch the ball and after she came down was quickly hit by Shark Toni Salvatore. The ball came out of Huber's hands and the loose ball was deemed to be a fumble by the referee. Sharks rookie Hannah Williams was in the neighborhood and quickly cleaned up the spillage. She then proceeded to run down the right side of the field all the way into the endzone for New York's final touchdown of the day. After a Pringle point, the Sharks were ahead 40-0 with 20 minutes left to go in the game.

By the time the fourth quarter rolled by, Connecticut's offense started to wake up. Going mostly to the air, the Crushers were able to get on the scoreboard twice on back to back drives in the last quarter. Their first touchdown of the day coming on a nifty 52 yard pass from Fillian to Jennifer D'Orio. There were three Shark defenders around her when she fought to catch the ball and then proceeded to break out of their clutches to score.

On their second score they used running back Christina Philibert to pound her way into the endzone. But that was score was set up by a 30 yard pass by Filian. Huber was successful on both point after attempts. But it was all too little, too late as the Sharks won the game by a final score of 40-14.

The Sharks were pretty dominate throughout the game, both on offense and defense. New York set many team records on their scoring plays both offensively and defensively. The Powerade Zero player of the game ended up not going to any particular player but to the whole offensive line. They again provided the Sharks quarterbacks with ample amount of protection and rarely did the Crushers get into the backfield to harrass Mulligan.

Up next, the Sharks will next host the D.C. Divas (4-0) in the biggest game of the season so far. If New York is to have any playoff hopes, they will have to beat D.C. This will be no easy feat as the Sharks are 1-2 lifetime against the Washington club and the Divas dismantled last year's division champion Pittsburgh Passion 27-7 last week. Game time is 3:30pm (EDT) at the Aviator Sports Complex. If you cannot make it to the park, you can follow the game with Pat Brown and Dave Maxwell describe all the hard hitting action on WFNradio.

Top 5


After the Sharks defeated the Firebirds in Philadelphia, the broadcast team went out looking to score some of Philadelphia's classic fare, the cheesesteak. They settled for a diner in North Philadelphia to eat, drink, and relax and also talk about football games past.

But instead of talking about the top 5 games, they talked about the top 5 broadcasting venues. These are the places where it was a joy to broadcast a football game, whether the Sharks won or not.

Here is the list. The list of the worst 5 will be coming soon.

1) Pittsburgh (Cupples Stadium - the home of the Pittsburgh Passion in 2008) An impressive 2 story press box with an elevator and its own bathroom. The press box was roomy, clean, had plenty of electrical outlets, and the gameday staff of the Passion was extremely helpful. And most importantly, they offered us food. It doesn't get any better than that, well maybe if the Sharks won.

2) Boston (Dilboy Stadium - current home of the Boston Militia) - Dilboy Stadium was a brand new stadium with a nice press box. Clean and well-lit it offered enough room for the broadcast team. It also had an elevator so there was no trek up 3 flights of stairs.

3) New York (Monsignor Farrell Stadium - home of the Sharks in 2005) - This high school field had a new press box installed that consisted of 3 rooms. One room was used by the coaches and the other room was used by the public address announcer. This gave the broadcast team their own personal space that kept outside noises and distractions from being heard over the air. It was also clean and well-lit with windows that worked.

4) D.C. (Prince George's Sports and Learning Complex - current home of the D.C. Divas) - A long roomy press box with lots of lighting and electrical outlets. Other than that there is not too much to say. Just goes to show how bad most of the press boxes are.

5) Miami (Nathan "Traz" Powell Stadium - home of the Miami Fury in 2007) - An older press box but had lots of room and had a high view to watch the field. Wished they had an elevator as it wasn't fun to walk up the stairs in the Florida heat. This was probably put more on the list because the broadcast crew stayed in South Beach, Florida and they don't remember too much from this road trip...

Game Day: Sharks at Firebirds



Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 25, 2009
After a rough loss last week, the New York Sharks (2-1) were looking to rebound back into the win column. They were playing division rival Philadelphia Firebirds (1-2) in Pennsylvania. The Sharks could ill afford another loss to a division foe with the backend of their schedule being one of the most difficult in the league.

It was overcast during the day but the skies had cleared by game time. The temperature was in the mid-60's when the Sharks won the coin toss and elected to receive the ball.

The Sharks started their drive not in very good field position from their own 19-yard line. But they soon started to rectify that as runs by Lisa Doran, Mandy Oppel, and Lauren Pringle moved the ball all the way down to the Philadelphia 8 yard line. But two penalties for illegal use of hands and illegal procedure pushed the Sharks back and they could not score.

The Sharks defense stopped the Firebirds cold and forced them to punt after 3 plays. This time New York started in excellent field position at the Philadelphia 33-yard line. Again they were hampered with 2 penalties that pushed them back, but this time Karen Mulligan used her arm to lead the Sharks to the promised land. Catches of 19 and 17 yards by Pringle and a 9 yard grab by Jen Blum took the Sharks to the Firebirds' 2-yard line. Then going to the ground, Blessing Withers blasted her way through for the touchdown. Pringle's extra point attempt was short but New York had the early lead 6-0 with 5:06 left in the first quarter.

The Sharks defense continued to play strong. The big play was a Fatima Carvey sack of Philadelphia quarterback Pam Downey for a 9 yard loss. On the subsequent punt, New York's Chante Bonds returned the kick for 56 yards into the endzone but another penalty on the Sharks called it back.

The Firebirds next possession was stopped by an interception by Toni Salvatore. This gave the Sharks the ball on their own 30-yard line. Mulligan led her crew down the field with a balanced blend of pass and running plays. Withers then smashed her way into the endzone on a 11 yard run. She broke 4 tackles, but it ended up all for naught as another New York Penalty called it back. The Sharks were able to get the ball down to the Firebirds' 2-yard line, but disaster struck when Mulligan rolled to her right. She then pitched the ball back to a trailing Oppel who could not handle the ball and Philadelphia recovered.

With the first half coming to an end, the Firebirds mysteriously ran the ball 6 times. They were moving the ball but with less than 7 seconds left, they were only up to their own 29-yard line. On the last play of the half, Downey threw deep and found Amanda Murphy with 2 Shark defenders on her. She caught the ball and ran down the left sideline but was just barely forced out of bounds at the New York 19-yard line to end the half. If she was able to stay in bounds she would have scored. Though the Sharks had played fairly well in the first half, penalties and turnovers hurt their chances and they only led Philadelphia by 6 points.

The second half for the Sharks started off well. New York kicked off the ball to start the third quarter. The ball bounced over the Firebirds player and by the time she recovered it, she was tackled at her own 17-yard line. A sack by Carvey and Tia Hopkins pushed Philadelphia back further to their own 10-yard line. Downey then went to the air only to be picked off by Jay Dantzler and returned the ball to the Firebirds' 34-yard line.

Mulligan went to the air on this drive and the Sharks scored their second touchdown of the game. The scoring strike came on a 13 yard pass to Oppel. Pringle missed the extra point after the ball was pushed back after another Sharks penalty. New York's lead was now 12-0 with 10:55 left to go in the third quarter.

Following behind, Philadelphia went to the air. They started to make some progress and got as far as the New York 17-yard line before Oppel intercepted a Downey pass and returned it all the way to the Philadelphia 32-yard line. Mullgian then converted the turnover into a touchdown with a 37-yard strike to Adrienne Smith. The Sharks successfully converted the 2-point conversion on a short pass play to Withers. This made the score 20-0.

It started to look like New York was going to run away with it, but early in the fourth quarter, Philadelphia was able to get on the board. They started having success moving the ball in the air. Helped with a 20-yard pass interference penalty, Philadelphia scored when Downey connected with Thomas on a 9 yard pass play. Laura O'Malley kicked the extra point to make the score 20-7 with 12:29 left in the game.

It didn't take long for New York to get that touchdown back. After the kickoff, Mulligan hit Pringle with a 70 yard touchdown pass. The 2 point conversion failed when the pass was intercepted. Still the Sharks had a commanding 26-7 lead.

New York added one more score after Brook McKinney picked off Downey for an interception. Mulligan again quickly turned it into a touchdown when she found Bonds streaking up the middle of the field. Bonds then ran into the endzone, breaking 2 tackles along the way. Pringle kicked the extra point and the Sharks now led 33-7 with 9:05 left in the game.

The Firebirds were now forced to pass on every down. Downey going with a steady stream of short passes to Murphy was successful enough to get Philadelphia back on the board. The scoring play was a 16-yard completion to Murphy. O'Malley kicked the extra point and the Firebirds were now down 33-14 with only 5:37 left in the game.

Though the game was out of hand, Philadelphia did not give up. On their next possession they went to the same formula of short passes to Murphy. This time it ended when McKinney picked up her second interception of the game.

The Sharks got back on the winning track with a stellar performance by Mulligan. She threw for 262 yards and 4 touchdowns. It was also good enough for her to be named the POWERADE ZERO Player of the Week. Still the score seemed a lot closer than the game would appear. New York dominated most of the game but was hurt with too many penalties of which two of them led to touchdowns being called back.

The Sharks head for home next week to host the Connecticut Crushers (0-3). Game time is 3:30pm (EDT) at Aviator Sports Complex. If you cannot make it to the park, you can follow the game with Pat Brown and Dave Maxwell describe all the hard hitting action on WFNradio.
