THURSDAY: Today's cover & top stories

Again, the U.S. women's soccer team has captured the world's attention. Abby Wambach did it again, breaking a 1-1 tie and leading the women to a 3-1 victory over France. Now it's on to the finals, where they'll face Japan. (OH, check out three unique storylines coming from the U.S. women's team). We've got a quick look at some Legion standings ... RCP was rained out of a game Wednesday evening, but we break down what they'll need for the upcoming state tourney. American golf has been struggling, and not just because Tiger is down and out (OK, maybe because Tiger is down and out.) Will an American win the British Open? (First round action starts today).

Be sure the check out this week's Athletes of the Week, a pair of outstanding local grads heading to UConn next year. Dan Bouchard hit the first home run in two seasons for RCP Legion, and Emily Anderson was named an honorable mention All-American (a little tardy, we know, but she deserves it nonetheless).
