RailHawks women to field area players

The Carolina RailHawks announced Wednesday that they will launch a women's team for the 2008 season.
The RailHawks women already have four area players committed, including North Carolina sophomore Casey Nogueira, a Broughton graduate and member of the United States' Under-20 team. UNC's Betsy Frederick, also of Raleigh, N.C. State's Lindsay Vera and Duke's Kelly Hathorn also have agreed to play.
The team will be coached by Jay Howell, who is the Capital Area Soccer League's Director of Coaching. A number of men and women's college players have come out of Howell's program.
