W.P.S. Suspends Operations - NYTimes.com January 30, 2012, 12:47 pm Fewer than 24 hours after the United States women's national team won the regional qualifying tournament for the summer's London Olympics (the United States had qualified after beating Costa Rica on Friday night), Women's Professional Soccer announced Monday that it had suspended operations for 2012. The league hopes to resume play for the 2013 season. Jennifer O'Sullivan, the W.P.S. commissioner, scheduled a conference call for 3 p.m. Eastern to explain the decision. Check back later on the Goal blog for an update on the conference call and comments from at least one owner of a league team.
