I've been impressed by the league's use of Facebook to make people aware of games, players, ads, etc. It's been a great way to unite like-minded supporters of women's soccer.

The very existence of Women's Premier Soccer League has slipped past me like a hard, low shot on a wet pitch. Looks like the Portland Rain is another local team to follow. http://www.wpsl.info/rain/

PH I think it must be that you are otherwise occupied at 3 on Sunday. WPS Sunday is the highlight of my week.

For sure we watch! Show your support most of our girls should end up there in the Pro's Laughing we hope... Rapinoe has been doing great despite the standings.. I am very surprised to see them drop to 2nd last place out of 7 teams.. but the standings are so close in points that may cahnge and the 1st place team Ca SOl is only a few games from their season completion..time will tell... come on Megan.

Ah, it's great to be an Easterner and be able to watch the national team (Meghan, Stephanie, maybe Sophie?) when they come to Rochester. Not so great being here in the fall, though.

Thanks for the reminder. I love watching Christine play, even against the U.S. Definitely not at all shabby. I really wish I had been a UP fan when she was there. She seems to have had it all (and still does, of course) - the skill, the competitiveness, great team player, and the ability to knock the ball into the nets. I love watching the tapes of her playing at UP.

That was a pretty amazing 5 years, right from the first game we saw her, (at UW her freshman year, in my case.

There were a bunch of us who just broke into grins in the stands and said to each other "this is going to be a fun era"

Right from the start, she had Championship written all over her.

Geezer, how did the 5 years come about? Injury? Redshirt?

She took a Redshirt to play for the Canadian National Team in the 2003 World Cup.

She also missed 5 games in 2002 to play for the CNT. I Think she played for the u19's and the full women in the Women's Gold Cup that year.

The most notable game she missed was the Santa Clara Game to decide the Conference championship and the automatic seed, and the final game of the regular season against San Diego. We lost the SCU game 0-1 at Home and tied the USD game 0-0 away.

I remember that Jerry Smith went up to Seattle to bring Ali Wagner back from the Gold Cup for the game, but Clive sat Christine for the last two regular season games.

I remember sitting at then-Civic Stadium watching warmups for a match between the US and Canadian national teams in about 1999 or so. Christine was 15 or 16 and playing on the full Canadian side. She was really something special, even in keep-away drills and even at that age. I remember turning to my daughter and commenting that it would be really great if the Pilots were able to attract her and that maybe they would have a chance because she was from Vancouver.

Needless to say, she did not disappoint!
