Carolina Morace announced the 24-player roster that she will take to a training camp in Roma, Italy running August 25 - September 12 which will precede their September 15 international friendly against Germany in Dresden. Nine current and former Ottawa Fury players make up for over a third of the roster with 2010 Fury W-League player Bahar Sansar, Christina Julien, Alyssa Lagonia and Marie-Eve Nault all getting the nod. For Sansar this marks the first time that she has been called to the National Team, although she has ample experience in the Women's Youth Camps. The 5 other players with Fury ties, all former W-League players, are Robyn Gayle, Diana Matheson, Rhian Wilkinson, Melanie Booth and Carmelina Moscato.

While the Ottawa Fury Women came up one goal short in the Central Conference Championship there was no denying the quality and quantity of talented players on the 2010 roster. Late Monday, the W-League announce the All-Conference Teams and the Ottawa Fury were well represented in the Central All-Conference line-up that include Fury defenders Aivi Luik and Marie-Eve Nault and strikers Jodie Taylor and Amber Hearn. All four Fury players had extremely strong seasons and often played key roles at one end of the field or the other in determining the outcome of several games for Ottawa this season.

The Ottawa Fury Women's run at a W-League Championship was halted Sunday evening in Niagara Falls following a 1-0 loss to the Buffalo Flash in the Central Conference Final. Kelly Parker put the Flash ahead in the 20th minute and with strikers Jodie Taylor and Tameka Butt out of the line-up due to injury the Fury were unable to pull even dashing their hopes capturing the seemingly elusive W-League Championship.

The Ottawa Fury defeated the Chicago Red Eleven 2-0 in the Central Conference Semi-Final on first half goals from Michelle Evans and Amber Hearn - both coming from corner kicks. The Fury will now advance to Sunday's Central Conference Final against the Buffalo Flash at 6pm.

Ottawa opened the scoring in the 11th minute when Michelle Evans curled a free kick in at the back post sending the Fury to an early 1-0 lead. The Fury would maintain much of the possession in the first half, but were unable to produce another threatening chance until the 45th minute when Amber Hearn redirected the Michelle Evans corner putting the Fury up 2-0 through 45 minutes of play.

With the Ottawa Fury W-League team wrapping up it's regular season with a 4-0 win over the Quebec City Amiral, the squad must now look forward to the 2010 playoffs as they search for an elusive first-ever W-League National Championship.  Coming off Ottawa (8-1-3) had been neck in neck with the Buffalo Flash (10-0-2) for the right to host the conference playoffs, losing out only on point total in the last games of the season.
