A big weekend for Silverbacks women

The Atlanta Silverbacks women will play host this weekend to the first round of the W-League Eastern Conference playoffs.

At 5 p.m. on Friday, the Washington Freedom plays Tampa Bay Hellenic, followed by the Silverbacks vs. the Charlotte Lady Eagles at 7:30 p.m. The finals will take place on Saturday, also at 7:30 p.m. All games will take place at Silverbacks Park.

Tickets are $10 a person for each day, with that admission price on Friday good for both games. The Silverbacks women have a cash-only ticket policy. Here’s more information about group tickets.

It’s the first stage of the postseason for the W-League. The Silverbacks earned the host’s role by virtue of winning the Atlantic Division with a record of 12-10-1-1 and 32 points.

Here’s how the rest of the playoff bracket shapes up.
