For the Penn women's soccer team to win a second Ivy League title in three years, the Quakers will have to get through the hardest part of their schedule first.
Philadelphia has seen its fair share of major sports events. The World Series, NBA and Stanley Cup Finals, postseason football and many NCAA basketball tournaments have all left indelible marks on the city's sports culture. This week, a new page will be written in the history books, as the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup comes to Lincoln Financial Field -- Philadelphia's newest sports venue. Six teams -- France, Norway, Sweden, North Korea, Nigeria and the United States -- will combine for a pair of doubleheaders at "the Linc," starting tomorrow. France, led by Marinette Pichon -- who played for the Philadelphia Charge before the Women's United Soccer Association folded earlier this week -- will face Norway in the tournament's opening game. The game will be followed by a match between North Korea and Nigeria -- teams that both trained this week at Penn's Rhodes Field. Penn women's soccer coach Darren Ambrose, who also served as an assistant coach with the Charge, called 2002 WUSA MVP Pichon "a world-class striker. She scores spectacular goals," he said. "She can volley a ball, takes balls out of the air -- [she] scored some tremendous goals in her time with the Charge." On Thursday, Sweden will face North Korea. This game will be followed by a prime-time , nationally televised matchup between Nigeria and the United States. The Penn team will attend both doubleheaders. Ambrose believes it is important that the Penn athletes take a role in women's soccer on a larger scale than just the Ivy League. "I think it's personally important that they show support for women's soccer in the world, let alone in this country," Ambrose said. "Especially with the recent demise of the WUSA, it's important [that] we are there, as female athletes and female role models, showing support for our own cause." Penn senior defender Heather Issing echoed those sentiments. "We're trying to set a good example," she said. "Being one of the few Philadelphia women's soccer teams in the area, we're showing our support for all four games." When John Hendricks, WUSA chairman, announced Monday that the league could not attain the amount of sponsorship revenue it needed to survive and was suspending operations, the decision hurt Ambrose on a personal level. "I'm bitterly disappointed," he said. "I have a daughter and I may have another one coming, and my family felt this way -- there's nothing better [for] a young girl [to] have than professional female athletes to watch and to emulate. And at this point, we don't have them right now." But Ambrose, the Quakers and the city have an event to remember over the next week -- one which will quickly take its place in the annals of Philadelphia sports lore.
The 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup's visit to Philadelphia will not be limited to Lincoln Financial Field -- it will also come to Penn's backyard.
