Moore, the 15th overall pick by the Boston Breakers in January's WPS Draft, gets to play for the Aztecs as part of the club�s �farm team� relationship with the Breakers.

The U-23 Women�s National Team standout was the dominant defensive presence in the Aztec�s road wins over Lancaster and Millburn this weekend. She notched the game-tying goal against the Inferno on a laser of a 30-yard free kick.

Teammate goalkeeper Ashley Phillips joined Moore on the WPSL Team of the Week. Another Breakers� developmental player, Phillips allowed only a goal in two road wins for the Aztec, making five saves on 1v1 situations including a show-stopper on a shot from 12 yards out.

Meanwhile in men�s news, Western Mass. Pioneer defender Federico Molinari was named to the USL Second Division Team of the Week. Molinari helped head a Pioneer defense that held Crystal Palace Baltimore scoreless in a 0-0 deadlock last Thursday.
