This Saturday in Houston!
Mia Hamm, Briana Scurry, Cindy Parlow, Siri Mullinix...
The Washington Freedom takes on the Atlanta Beat on this Saturday, October 19 at Rice University Track/Soccer Stadium. Pregame fan fest begins at 3 pm, kickoff at 5 pm. See

Tickets are on sale now at the Rice ticket office, at all Soccer 4 All locations, at Fiesta on I-10 West at Blalock, at Fiesta on Bellaire at Hillcroft, at Soccer Time in Pasadena or online at
http://www.hwsa.org/.

Also on sale: soccer clinics for girls & women with WUSA players on Saturday morning. For $35, you get a one-hour clinic with 3 WUSA players, a Tshirt and a ticket to the game. See
http://www.hwsa.org/wusahouston.htm. Briana Scurry, Abby Wambach & Emmy Barr are scheduled for the youth clinic; Nikki Serlenga, Emily Burt and Carrie Moore will lead the adult clinic.

Don't wait til Saturday to buy your tickets -- the Rice soccer venue is fairly cozy (5000) and about two-thirds of the tickets have been sold, so there's a good chance the game will sell out.


MLS Cup 2002
In its first-ever MLS final, the New England Revolution (led by scoring sensation Taylor Twellman) face the L.A. Galaxy, who've made the final before but have never brought home the hardware. The Galaxy have a little something extra this time -- or rather a little fish extra -- league-leading scorer Carlos "El Pescadito” Ruiz. The game will air on ABC on Sunday, October 20 at 12:30 pm CT.
