Without question, the Screaming Eagles Football Club side that wins the much sought after Team Award for the 2009 season is the Nuisance.

Congratulations to a great group of women who exemplify the club motto “Our Team. Each Other. Our Community.” while demonstrating a tremendous team spirit and camaraderie both on and off the pitch!

Whether it is kicking it around on the Mall after work on Tuesdays or battling it out in the Washington Area Women’s Soccer League on Saturday mornings in all kinds of weather, you can see how much they love the game. They not only captured a respectable third place this year with a 4-4-1 record in the Third Division, but had a blast along the way!

More importantly, they were always there for their fellow team members and were a driving force in this year’s community outreach efforts.

Not only were they a presence throughout the DC United season helping out at the tailgates, but they led the way in providing leadership and energy for a wide variety of charitable efforts.

They led the raucous cheers that lifted the spirits (literally and figuratively) of a drenched Shamrockfest crowd.

They were out at the crack of dawn to man the water station for the grateful runners during the National Marathon.

When love.futbol needed to put on a fundraising happy hour, the Nuisance was there yet again.

You can rest assured that when it comes time to embark on serious endeavors from helping out DC SCORES to running in the Race for the Cure, the Nuisance will be at the forefront.

However, this crew definitely also know how to have a good laugh as well, from Talk Like A Pirate Day to Santarchy, they will be there smiling all the way.

So next time you run into a member of the Nuisance at a match or event, don’t hesitate to thank them for being an integral part of our club.
