World Cup Notre Dame Players Shine on World Cup Teams The success and impact of the Notre Dame women’s soccer program has not been limited to the collegiate level. Notre Dame had a presence at the past two I FIFA Women’s World Cups, particularly in the 1999 World Cup won by the homestanding United States. Former three-time All-American Kate Sobrero played a key role in helping the U.S. claim its second World Cup in 1999, as a starting defender and one of the youngest players on the roster. Sobrero started five of the six games that the Americans played, missing only the Korea game when she rested a sore ankle after the U.S. already had clinched the top spot in its pool. Former high-scoring Notre Dame forward Monica Gerardo and 2002 graduate Monica Gonzalez (a former forward who converted to a defender role) repre- sented Mexico in that country’s first appearance in the World Cup in ’99. The Irish pair both started Mexico’s first World Cup game against Brazil, while Gerardo R – who wrapped up her career at Notre Dame following the 1998 season – also started against Italy. Four-time All-America midfielder Holly Manthei’s earlier appearance with the U.S. national team in the 1995 World Cup in Stockholm, Sweden, marked the first World Cup duty for a Notre Dame women’s soccer player. The second-youngest player on the team following her freshman season at Notre Dame in 1995, Manthei played in two games for the third-place Americans, including a reserve stint in a 3-3 tie with China and a start in the 4-1 win over Australia. Sobrero and former Notre Dame defensive midfielder Shannon Boxx played for the U.S. third-place team at the 2003 World Cup (also played in the U.S.), with Boxx selected to the prestigious All-World Cup team. Recent Notre I Dame standout Candace Chapman was set to start for Canada at flank midfielder but had to miss the 2003 World Cup due to injury. With the 2007 World Cup set to take place in China (Sept. 10-30), the Notre Dame women’s soccer program again should be well-represented on multiple national teams. Boxx was easing back to form after suffering a major knee injury in 2006 while Sobrero was among the top candidates to start for the U.S. at a central defender role, after recently taking a leave from the team due to the birth of her first child. Chapman and fellow former Notre Dame standout Katie Thorlakson (2002-05) had been regulars in Canada’s final tuneups for the World Cup, with each having been tried at various positions in their time with Team S Canada. Mexico was not among the 16 teams that qualified for the 2007 Women’s World Cup. H

Kate Sobrero (top left and middle) played a key role on defense to help the United States win the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup and was joined by her former Notre Dame teammate Shannon Boxx (top right) as starters on the U.S. 2003 World Cup team. Holly Manthei (bottom right) became the first Notre Dame women’s soccer player to play in the World Cup after her appearance in the 1995 World Cup. Monica Gonzalez (bottom middle) and Monica Gerardo (bottom left) both played for Mexico in the 1999 World Cup while two other former Notre Dame standouts – Candace Chapman and Katie Thorlakson – are slated to compete in the 2007 World Cup with Canada. Boxx and Sobrero, who now plays under her married name of Kate Markgraf, likewise are among the top players for the U.S. as they head into the 2007 WWC.

Twelve former Notre Dame women’s soccer players participated in the first three seasons of the Women’s United Soccer Association (2001-03), including 10 who competed in the inaugural 2001 season (the third-most from any Division I program). Seven of the above players were in action during each of the WUSA seasons (the others are noted by their years of participation). Former Irish players LaKeysia Beene and Kelly Lindsey helped lead the Bay Area/San Jose CyberRays to the 2001 WUSA title, with Beene also earning WUSA goalkeeper-of-the- S year honors and saving the Atlanta Beat’s first PK in the title-game shootout. Lindsey – a second-team all-WUSA defender in ’01 – assisted on the first goal in that title game. Former Notre Dame defender Kate Sobrero received the 2001 WUSA Humanitarian Award, in recognition of her charitable works as a member of the Boston Breakers. Beene ranked second in the 2001 WUSA with an 0.97 goals-against average while former O Irish defender Jen Grubb played all 1,890 regular-season minutes for the Washington Freedom in 2001, ’02 and again in ’03. Former Notre Dame midfielder Shannon Boxx was the fourth-leading scorer for the 2001 San Diego Spirit and was the New York Power’s 2003 MVP, after finishing third in the WUSA with eight assists. Grubb and her Freedom teammates Anne Makinen and Monica Gerardo (game-winning goal in 1-0 semifinal) helped lead Washington to the 2002 WUSA title game – with Grubb and the Freedom beating C Sobrero, another former Irish defender Monica Gonzalez and their Breakers teammates in the 2003 WUSA semifinals en route to the title. The 2003 WUSA all-star game featured four Notre Dame alums: Grubb C (starter), Beene, Gonzalez and Boxx, who was considered one of the WUSA’s top defensive midfielders. E R 2007 WOMEN’S SOCCER 105

National Players of the Year Five different Notre Dame women’s soccer players – midfielder Cindy Daws (1996), goalkeeper Jen I Renola (1996), midfielder Anne Makinen (2000) and forwards Katie Thorlakson (2004) and Kerri Hanks (2006) – each have received a major national player-of-the-year honor during the span of the past 11 seasons (1996-2006). Most notably, Notre Dame is one of only two women’s soccer programs ever to produce three or more different recipients of the prestigious M.A.C./Hermann Trophy (Daws, Makinen and Hanks).

Despite her historic season, Thorlakson surprisingly was not among the three finalists for the 2004 M.A.C./Hermann Trophy, but she was recognized by Soccer America as its 2004 national player of the year. ESPN similarly honored Thorlakson by selecting her as one of five finalists (and the only soccer player among the finalists) for the 2004-05 “ESPY” in the category of best female college athlete. Thorlakson went on to be a finalist for the 2005 M.A.C./Hermann player-of-the-year award.

Notre Dame’s national player-of-the-year recipients have included (from top left down) midfielder Cindy Daws, goalkeeper Jen Renola and midfielder Anne Makinen (pictured with Randy Waldrum) – plus the dynamic forward duo of Katie Thorlakson (far left) and Kerri Hanks (pictured with Waldrum).
