Christine
Latham signs with San Diego Spirit
The
Canadian National Team member who recently graduated from the
University of Nebraska has been signed by the San Diego Spirit
for the 2003 WUSA season.
She
holds the Nebraska all time scoring record with 69 goals, and
was named NSCAA All-American in each of her last three years
there.
A
native of Calgary, Alberta she brings an exciting new aspect
to the San Diego front line with her aggressive play in front
of goal, and her ability to finish.
The
21-year-old Latham has 18 caps with the Canada National Team,
and played for four years on their Under-21 National Team.
She
is the first Canadian signed by the Spirit.
"This
is a tremendous opportunity and I'm going to try to make the
most of it," said Latham. "It can be difficult for
Canadians to break into the league, but hopefully more will start
to get the chance. I've heard great things about San Diego and
the stadium and I can't wait for March to come."
