[WPS] Down to five teams, Women's Professional Soccer will hold its 2012 college draft Friday at the Kansas City Convention Center. Unlike the MLS SuperDraft, WPS's event won't be open to the public. It will air on a live webcast on www.WomensProSoccer.com. The No. 1 pick, held by the Atlanta Beat, is expected to be Sydney Leroux of UCLA. Three players from national championship Stanford -- Teresa Noyola, Lindsay Taylor and Cam Levin -- could go in the first round.
