San Jose CyberRays News Release
SAN JOSE (June 3, 2003) â Three CyberRays have been named starters for the 2003 Hyundai WUSA All-Star Game to be played at 7:30 p.m. June 19 in SAS Stadium in Cary, N.C., home field of the Carolina Courage.
Defender Brandi Chastain will start for the American Stars, and Brazilians Pretinha and Sissi will start for the World Stars in the match, which will be televised on ESPN2.
The starters were chosen by weighted balloting in which the choices of fans, WUSA coaches and general managers, and a media panel each counted for one-third of the total. Five additional reserve players will be announced Monday by WUSA commissioner Tony DiCicco and the respective head coaches, Jim Gabarra of the Washington Freedom for the American Stars and Tom Stone of the Atlanta Beat for the World Stars.
Twenty of the 22 All-Star starters are expected to take part in the 2003 Women's World Cup in September and October. Ten of the 11 starters named to the American squad will likely suit up for the defending world champions. If Mexico and Japan qualify, 10 of 11 starters on the World squad will be members of their respective teams.
