Parker is WCC POW

Ellen Palmer Parker was selected as the West Coast Conference player of the week. http://portlandpilots.com/news/2013/9/23/WSOC_0923134430.aspx?path=wsoc

Congrats.

Watching the replay of the game, they credited [s]Palmer[/s] Parker with an assist on the first goal.  She kicked off but defender trapped the ball  and passed off on the back line where it was all Capelle with the steal and finish.   I would have credited Wetherington with the assist on the second goal as she played Ellen's first shot which was off a defender which Ellen put it in the net.

As happened on a couple of other occasions, the TV camera missed something -- there is a jerk in what the camera is covering and I think there is some lost "footage" there, apparently Ellen tipping a ball that forced the defender to try to get it under control, which is when Micaela stole it from her. That's the best I can figure from what I saw and what I've read.
