Rochester Pride - RSC Lightning '96

Christina, Sandi & Hillary really really really wanted to see the U.S Womens World Cup match against North Korea in Columbus. So they got together some change of clothes, 6 Alan Lomax CD’s, 3 sony walkmans, a map of Ohio, a Johnny Quest Deluxe Pocket Compass, 16 peanut butter sandwiches & a flashlight. They wrapped it all on up in a diaper n' hang ‘em on a stick over their back; took 4 days off of school; and started walking... south. After originally missing their turn and ending up in Dayton, they back tracked and finally found the beautiful Columbus Crew Stadium, the nation’s first major stadium built specifically for soccer. Happily they got there in time for the match and got to see our US Women win 3-0 in a great match among capcity crowd of 22,828 and advance to the quarter finals. It's a good thing they got there in time because otherwise the crowd would not have been full capacity and that would have been a shame. We're glad they had fun and we wish we could have been there to... but the walk back home must have been tough. They all had holes in the bottoms of their shoes when they showd up to practice the next week.
