Carolina Courage News Release
Morrisville, NC (March 6, 2003) - Carla Overbeck, veteran defender for the WUSA champion Carolina Courage, welcomed a new addition to her family on Wednesday with the arrival of a seven lbs., 11 oz. baby girl.
Carson Elizabeth Overbeck, the second child for Carla and Greg Overbeck (and the first sister for 5 year-old son Jackson), was born at 12:28 pm at Duke Medical Center in Durham, NC. Both mother and child are doing very well, and expect to return home in the coming days.
"We are so proud to welcome Carson to our family," said Overbeck, "and we want to thank all our friends and family for their kind wishes and support."
The fact that Carson Elizabeth arrived after only 20 minutes of labor reinforces the notion that Carla Overbeck does not require a lot of time to produce great results. In last season's semifinal victory over the Atlanta Beat, Overbeck needed only 18 minutes to score the golden goal to send the Courage to the Founders Cup.
The Courage will begin its defense of the Founders Cup trophy on Saturday, April 5th at 2 pm at SAS Stadium in Cary. The season will begin in dramatic fashion with a rematch of the championship game, as Mia Hamm and the Washington Freedom come to town. Season seats begin at only $95 for the entire 12-game season and can be purchased by calling the Courage ticket office at (919) 573-7626 or by visiting online at www.carolinacourage.com.
In related news, Courage General Manager Scott Travasos submitted to the WUSA league office today the name Carson Elizabeth Overbeck as a discovery pick for the Carolina Courage for the 2024 WUSA season.
