PrintNAGWS Visits the White House
On Thursday, July 1, 2010 NAGWS President Shawn Ladda joined President Obama in honoring the Women's Professional Soccer League 2009 Champion, Sky Blue FC. The invite included bringing eight Northeast Area soccer players who were thrilled to visit the White House, see President Obama, and be a part of commending outstanding female athletes.
Obama congratulated Sky Blue FC for their perseverance through three coaching changes during the season and for coming out victorious in three straight road games within the span of eight days to claim the inaugural WPS championship.
