Colorado Springs, Colo. -- The U.S. Women's

Cup, when the 16-member squad returns to the international tournament, May 25-28 , in
Moorpark, Calif.
Beginning May 21, the team will practice at Moorpark in preparation for the
tournament.
Under head coach Cheryl Murtagh, the U.S. team will look to continue a string
of successful runs at the tournament including a first place finish in 1998 and a second
place finish in 2000. The U.S. will again compete in the tournament's premier women's
division, the "Super Division," with a field that includes teams from
Mexico, Canada (Vipers, Lomas) and California (Slime, Monarcas), as well as current
athletes and alumnae from Stanford Univ. (Stanford Cardinal) and the Univ. of Maryland
(Terrapin Express). Defending champion Slime will meet the US in the first game at 9 a.m.,
Friday, May 25.
The U.S. roster includes high school All-Americans Colleen Barbieri
(Centereach, N.Y.), Emily Boyer (Oak Park, Ill.), Katie Grant (Lehighton, Pa.), Karin Garp
(Spencer, N.Y.), Alexis Martirosian (Richmond, Va.) and Natalie Martirosian (Richmond,
Va.), Brooke Miller (Hummelstown, Pa.), Katie Moyneur (Escondido, Calif.), Lauren Powley
(Mountaintop, Pa.), Gracie Sorbello (Davis, Calif.) and goalkeeper Katy Tran (Grantville,
Pa.). The team also includes 2000 Cal Cup veteran Amy Stopford (Hillsborough, N.C.) in
addition to Adrienne Hortillosa (Chula Vista, Calif.) and goalkeeper Christy Morgan
(Centreville, Va.).
The U.S. team went 4-0-1 at the 2000 tournament before losing to
Slime in the championship game, 2-0.
Celebrating its 30th year in 2001, the California Cup features 110
teams competing in 10 divisions.
Following the Cal Cup, the team will attempt to defend its championship title
