Up until age 5, I thought everyone's parents were competitive cross-country skiers. In my family, I was used to my parents hiring a sitter for me and my two younger brothers so they could train for their next 50-kilometer ski marathon.
Thanks in part to Title IX, opportunities for you to participate in sports as part of your
college experience have expanded substantially. Yet when thinking about competing on behalf of your
school, you tend to think varsity sports. I'd like to take this opportunity to expand your horizons
in case your radar is limited.

college careers with a record of 95-4-4.

in the early 1990s.

ACC schools—Wake Forest, Duke and Florida State—and two-time NCAA runner-up Stanford, making

Capital One Cup standings.

While many sports fans in Los Angeles were at the Coliseum Saturday night for the UCLA USC
football game, it was a great night at Drake Stadium where the UCLA women came back from an early
Portland goal to win the NCAA quarterfinal soccer game 2-1.
With the win last night, the Bruins advanced to their seventh consecutive NCAA Women's College
Cup.
Soccer can be a tough game and it's especially so in the Mountain West Conference. Footage of
the conference semifinal game in Provo, Utah where BYU beat New Mexico 1-0 has been making the
rounds and not for the right reasons.
Why is it that the only times women's sports make the nightly news is when they cross the
line?
Soccer can be a tough game and it appears that's especially true in the Mountain West
Conference. Footage of the conference semifinal game in Provo, Utah – where BYU beat New Mexico
1-0 – has been making the rounds and not for any of the right reasons.
Why is it that the only time women's sports make the nightly news is when the players cross the
line?
December 7, 2008 - North Carolina's junior forward Casey Nogueira provided the heroics in the
championship game of the Women's College Cup for the second time in three years, scoring two
second-half goals to lead the Tar Heels to a 2-1 victory over Notre Dame on Sunday. Notre Dame, the
only undefeated team remaining in D-I [.
December 5, 2008 - It's no secret we were rooting for UCLA to win the national championship. So
it's no suprise we were incredibly bummed when the Bruins saw their undefeated season come to an
end during the semifinals of the NCAA College Cup. They gave up only their sixth goal of the
year in [...]
December 5, 2008 - In Friday's first D-I semifinal in Cary, N.C., Courtney Barg scored in the 14th
minute to put Notre Dame ahead early. The Irish defense took care of the rest, as top-seeded Notre
Dame stayed undefeated and earned a ticket to Sunday's final with a 1-0 win over Stanford.
December 5, 2008 - The four top women's soccer teams are in Cary, NC to take part in this
week's NCAA College Cup at WakeMed Soccer Park. The players all took part in the
pre-tournament press conference, put in some practice time at the site and then attended a
team banquet. With UCLA on a quest for their first national title, the LA Daily [.
December 4, 2008 - It all comes down to this weekend. It's the fiercest foursome to meet at the
Women's College Cup in recent memory. Who will come out #1? All four top seeds reached the
national semifinals for the first time since 1997 and just the fifth time overall. The teams have
the most combined wins [.
November 30, 2008 - The scene at UCLA's Drake Stadium was a bit surreal. The field was
shrouded in fog (providing an interesting backdrop) and the Bruins dominated in majestic fashion.
Since it was holiday weekend, the decisive victory was played before a sparsely populated
stadium (though I was there showing support!
November 23, 2008 - It was a showdown in Tinseltown. Cross-town rivals USC and UCLA played last
night in the Third Round of the NCAA Women's Soccer Championships. It was a cool night and in
typical SoCal fashion, spectators wore everything from shorts and flip flops to wool caps and
winter coats (I was happy to [.
November 21, 2008 - Lots of great match-ups this weekend as the nation's top women's soccer
teams move to the NCAA Round of 16. I'm personally looking forward to the UCLA-USC game
tom'w night at Drake Stadium. It's a rematch of last year's College Cup Semifinals in which
USC went on to win the NCAA championship.
November 11, 2008 - As a big fan of women's soccer, this is one of my favorite times of the year.
Last night, the NCAA announced the field of 64 teams, that will compete for the
27th Division I Women's Soccer Championship. Only four of the teams will remain when the
action rolls into Cary, North Carolina next month [.
November 4, 2008 - There is one more election to add to your ballot and

fans can vote once a day by [.
September 17, 2008 - There are a lot of cool awards out there for student-athletes but one of the
most prestigious is the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award. This year, 30 female student-athletes
