By Lance Swanson sestrwriser Canadian forward Charmaine Hooper scored two goals to lead the FIFA World All-Stars to a sur- prising 2-1 victory over the U. S. Women's National Team in front of 15,367 fans at Spartan Stadium Sunday. The U.S. team lost its emotion- al leader shortly after scoring its lone goal at the 23:00 minute mark of the game.

header, took a vicious shot to the cheek from World defender Homare Sawa. Alters was taken to Stanford Medical Center for stitches and further evaluation. "She doesn't look good," U.S. fonvard Mia Hamm said. "Michelle brings us so much con- fidence. She's an unbelievable dis- tributor of the ball. We missed her leadership." After losing Alters, who had a severe cut on her left eyebrow from the collision, the U.S. team lost its momentum and essential- ly fell apart. The lackluster loss for the U.S. team caused concern for U.S. coach Tony Dicicco, whose team is expected by most experts to win the World Cup title in July. "I'm very disappointed," Dicicco said."We didn't do enough to win."
