METUCHEN, NJ - Week IV of the Summer 2017 season in United Women’s Soccer (UWS) saw the pace of play turned up a notch and some dramatic results.

This will be the second time being selected to the UWS TOTW for Marti Corby (GRFC Women), Morgan Santoro (Long Island), Madison Schupbach (Detroit), Hailey Skolmoski (RSL Women) and Annie Steinlage (GRFC Women).
