Sarah Hagen (Appleton North/UW-Milwaukee) closed out her 2½-year stint at Bayern Munich on Sunday, but not before delivering one more goal for the German club.

Hagen, still playing with a large wrap after having surgery to repair a broken right hand in April, scored the opener in the 60th minute as Bayern Munich wrapped up its Frauen-Bundesliga season with a 1-1 draw against host Turbine Potsdam.

The 24-year-old striker carefully watched and accurately judged the ball as it took a big bounce after a throw-in on the left side, spinning around her marker to get to the ball and then scoring with a right-footed shot as she fell to the ground.

She finished the season with 12 goals in 20 matches, tied for sixth in the league. Bayern Munich (11-5-6) claimed fourth place in the 12-team league with 39 points – 10 behind third-place Turbine Potsdam and eight ahead of fifth-place FF USV Jena.

Hagen finished with 43 goals in 60 appearances with Bayern Munich, with whom she signed in January 2012. She is in training camp with the U.S. women's national team ahead of friendlies against France on Saturday in Tampa, Fla., and June 19 in East Hartford, Conn., then will join FC Kansas City of the National Women's Soccer League.

  • Defender Katie Kelly (Marquette) scored her first goal for Finnish club Kokkola F10, giving the visitors the lead in the 27th minute of a 3-2 loss to NiceF on Saturday. Kokkola F10 (3-5-2) is sixth in the 10-team Naisten Liiga, which is on a three-week break. On Twitter: @KKelly21
  • Jay DeMerit (Green Bay/Bay Port) left the Vancouver Whitecaps' 3-3 draw against the Philadelphia Union in a Major League Soccer match Saturday after 24 minutes because of a left foot/leg injury. The 34-year-old center back and team captain, who suffered a ruptured Achilles' tendon in the same leg last season, tweeted that the injury appears to be in the ankles and tendons. He had his left foot in a walking boot Monday, when he made his debut with ESPN FC as a studio analyst for the World Cup – with the Whitecaps off until June 25, DeMerit will appear on "World Cup Encore," a 2-hour recap of daily matches.
