Some
of the WUSA players in action recently win
the DFB Jubilee Tournament at Braunschweig, Germany
Foudy's score
in the 57th minute of play gave the USA its sixth trophy of the
year. The 1-0 shutout was a milestone for U.S. goalkeeper Siri Mullinix
(WUSA-Wash. D.C.), as it marked her 12th shutout of the year, equaling
the mark set by teammate Briana Scurry (WUSA-Atlanta) in 1998 The
DFB Jubilee final match marked the return to the U.S. lineup of
Michelle Akers (WUSA-Orlando), who had been sidelined recovering
from shoulder surgery. Akers played the final 32 minutes replacing
Brandi Chastain (WUSA-SF Bay Area) and had two scoring chances.
In the DFB final, Kate Sobrero (WUSA-Boston) was taken out of the
game at the 38-minute mark after colliding with a German player
and Mullinix. She was briefly knocked unconscious, but did walk
off the field and was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons.
Joy Fawcett (WUSA-San Diego) and Christie Pearce (WUSA-NY) were
mainstays on the backline once again for the USA as they helped
hold Germany to just three shots
