April 7, 2008
Four current members of the UTEP women's soccer team- Cortney Casey, Anoop Josan, Cara Nordin and Tameka Sumter- will spend their summer playing in the W-League of the United Soccer. Additionally, former netminder Jessica Salvi and current assistant coach Kelly Parker will compete in the league. Casey, Nordin, Salvi and Sumter will look to star with the Seattle Sounders while Parker and Josan will showcase their talents for FC Indiana and the Vancouver Whitecaps, respectively.
The 2008 W-League campaign features a 41-team format in four conferences playing 12 or 14 regular season matches. The top women's players throughout the world compete in the USL W-League through the summer months. In addition to the league featuring international and former professional stars, elite collegiate players have the opportunity to also compete in the league while maintaining their collegiate eligibility. Action for the 2008 W-League kicks off in May.
