Sept. 2, 1999
Cities of gold: Lori Lindsey was a member of the US Under-18 team that won the Pan-American games championship this summer in Winnipeg. The Pan Am Gold was part of an unprecedented triple in women’s soccer as the US won the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the Under-20 team won the Nordic Cup, defeating Norway in the Championship.
Take me home (sometime!): Virginia starts the 1999 season with three games on the road and actually plays five of the first six matches on the road before hosting the 1999 Coca-Cola Classic. This is the first season in Virginia history that the Cavaliers have started with three consecutive road games.
Heinrichs to Hall: Virginia head coach April Heinrichs is the first female player to ever be into the Hall of Fame (two other women have been elected for their contributions to soccer as administrators). During her playing career, Heinrichs was captain of the 1991 women’s national team that won the USA’s first world championship in China. She was voted as the top female player of the 1980s by Soccer America and was a two-time U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year (1986 and 1989) with 47 international appearances and 37 goals for the U.S. Heinrichs played college ball at the University of North Carolina, where she won three national championships (1983, 1984 and 1986) and was named National Player of the Year twice (1984 and 1986). In addition to her coaching duties at UVa, Heinrichs currently serves as the head coach of the U.S. under-16 girls national team and as an assistant for the U.S. women’s national team. She currently has a record 27-12-4 at Virginia and 91-58-12 overall.
