Exciting News about Cori Alexander and Rachael Rapinoe!

Pretty amazing stuff here... Cori and Rachael have been selected by The Indonesia America Soccer Exchange to travel to Indonesia and help coach soccer to middle-school girls in an effort to strengthen relations between the US and Indonesia. This program is funded by the US State Department, so really I think you can call them international ambassadors in Pilot purple!

Here's a link to the UP Facebook page with more details and a link to a message from Cori:

It would be a treat:

Very cool. It's great to promote women's athletics abroad...and in any country really.

Awesome pictures!!! Thanks Ms. A.

Wow! What a great experience. Great photos.

Got to talk with Cori yesterday for the podcast and the interview is up here: http://crossconference.com/2011/02/14/catching-up-with-cori-alexander/

Great interview. Great news that she will be the Keeper coach at Cal, joining the Bakers as part of their whole new assistant crew.
Apparently the USD job was a one year gig.
