*Comment of the Week*
"It was a surprise for me to be traded to Athletica, but I am looking forward to a new beginning
and a fresh start. I have heard wonderful things about the Saint Louis
organization, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of it. I know
Saint Louis has incredible ownership, great coaches, and has a great
environment to improve in as a player. I am really impressed that you
have your own facility. It is going to be a great environment to train
and play in and to have the soccer community of St. Louis be a part of.
I was also really impressed with the crowds that Athletica drew.
" ~Lindsey Tarpley (Saint Louis Athletica's new midfielder - USSF Female Player of the Decade)
