Will Shannon learn to accept her role, or will she "wave" goodbye and return to the Swarm?

Contributor Bio(s): Summers, Bill: - Bill Summers is a writer and soccer enthusiast who began playing at age six in a schoolyard in Oxford, England. A native of Ithaca, New York, Summers went on to play at Cornell University, where he was captain and named an alternate to the NCAA Senior Bowl. He continued to lace up long into his adult years, learning something new each time he crossed the chalk. As a parent, Summers spent a decade coaching boys' and girls' youth teams. His first book, The Soccer Starter, Your Guide to Coaching Young Players, was published by McFarland & Company in 2006. For thirty years Summers moonlighted as a sports reporter, covering soccer, baseball, basketball, and football for The Bernardsville News in New Jersey. His soccer writing has earned awards from the Society of Professional Journalists. While his boots are now untied for good, he remains tethered to the game through heart, mind, and keyboard.
