Women’s Professional Soccer will be announcing allocation results of the U.S. Women’s National Team on September 16th at the Sports Museum of America in New York City. The player pool, which includes several 2008 Olympic gold medalists, will be allocated to one of the seven WPS teams participating in the inaugural 2009 season: Bay Area, Boston Breakers, Chicago Red Stars, Los Angeles, Sky Blue FC, St. Louis, and Washington Freedom.

26 year old American defender Cat Whitehill has been ruled out of this summer’s olympics in Beijing, after suffering a torn knee ligament. Whitehill has earned 123 caps for the Womens National team, and was part of the team that won the 2004 Gold medal in Athens. Whitehill was considered a vital piece of the US back line and will surely be missed.
