Women’s Cup coming to Portland
A ssuciajujl E riss
The W orld Cup soccer champions
are returning to Portland.
This time, the U.S. women’ s team w ill
p la y in a tw o -d a y , fo u r-n a tio n
tournament on M ay 5 and M a y 7 at
C ivic Stadium.
“ This is not just a friendly (exhibition),
i t ’ s a very big thing,” said E m ilio
P ozzi, U .S. S o cce r’ s m a n aging
director o f events.
Teams from M exico, South Korea,
Canada and the U nited States are
scheduled to play in the N ike U.S.
W om en’ s Cup — on a grass fie ld
installed over the artificial tu rfa tC iv ic
Stadium.
A fte r w in n in g the W o rld Cup last
July, the U.S. w om en’ s team played
an e xhibition at the Rose Garden in
December. Before the W orld Cup, the
U.S. played a “ sendoff” e xhibition
against Canada at C iv ic Stadium
before a sellout crow d o f 27,000.
Pozzi said Portland’ s support o f the
U.S. team also could help the city land
an N C A A
w o m e n ’ s so cce r
tournament, w hich also m ight be held
at C iv ic Stadium.
Pozzi said the U.S. team w ill spend
about 10 days in Portland, including
a week o ftraining before its first game
on M ay 5. The U nited States has won
every U.S. W om en’ s Cup since it
began in 1992.

In granting the Pythons prelim inary
permission to move, the W orld Indoor
Soccer League announced that there
is not enough tim e fo r the franchise to
prepare fo r this season, w hich w ill
begin about A ug. 1.
League president Gordon Jago said it
w o u ld be “ almost im possible” to
“ b ring about awareness, promote the
team and obtain sponsorships and
ticket sales in Tacoma in four o r five
m o n th s .”
W ith th e P yth o n s

w h ile m aking the move, their players
are being dispersed to other W IS L

The Portland Fire did indeed get more
players M onday morning.
Six to be exact.
W ho they are, however, w ill have to
w a it u n til today, w hich is when the
W N B A w ill release the names.
The delay is m ostly the result o f
meetings on Sunday and Monday
that kept league personnel occupied.
The names o f a ll the free agents
allocated to all 16 W N B A teams
should be available around 10 a.m.
today.
The Fire had hoped to bring more
guards into training camp, w hich
begins Wednesday. A fte r receiving
six m ore players M onday, the Fire
now has 17 players. The team can
begin training camp w ith 18.
Last week, the Fire selected four
players in the W N B A draft. Its top
pick, seventh overall, was Kansas’
Lyn n Pride. Portland coach Linda
Hargrove expects Pride and second-
ro u n d p ic k S tacey T h o m a s to
contribute this summer.
Portland got its firs t in flu x o f players
in December, when it picked up seven
players in the league’ s expansion
draft. One more player w ill jo in the
training-camp m ix .
Sandi B ittler, the Fire’ s vice president
o f business operations, said the team
needs to see w ho was assigned to the
other 15teams before deciding
on the final player to invite to
camp.
M ost ofthe F ire’ s players w ill

the th re e -tim e
W NBA
champion Houston Comets.

at Betty Barclay Cup
Ir a n
A fte r being on the sidelines fo r six
months due to tendinitis in both wrists,
Venus W illia m s fin a lly makes her
season debut when the $535,000 Betty
Barclay Cup claycourt event begins

six tournam ents last season and
finished 1999 ranked No. 3 in the
w orld. D uring her hiatus, W illia m s

career claycourt title here last year by
beating M ary Pierce, 6-0,6-3.
The A m erican teenager is
