W-League

The Carolina RailHawks announced on Wednesday night the formation of a USL W-League women’s soccer team for the 2008 season.
The Carolina RailHawks Women will play home games in the Atlantic Division of the USL W-League at SAS Soccer Park in Cary. The team will be coached by Jay Howell, Director of Coaching for the Capital Area Soccer League and will be comprised by some of the best talent the Triangle has to offer. Star players from Duke, NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill as well as Wake Forest University and UNC-Greensboro have already agreed to be a part of the team.
“The Triangle has a tradition of producing fantastic women’s soccer teams and players at the club and collegiate level,” said Jay Howell. “Like the Raleigh Wings and the Carolina Courage in the past, this team will showcase the best soccer talent from this area and beyond. I am excited and honored to coach the new W-League team. This will be a wonderful opportunity to work with high quality players, and to represent the Carolina RailHawks organization.”
