Twenty years ago the San Diego Spirit played its inaugural before 6,155 at sold-out Torero Stadium at the University of San Diego, a 2-0 loss to the Philadelphia Charge.
The Women’s United Soccer Association, the women’s pro soccer league that included the San Diego Spirit, drew heavily on the allure of the members of the U.S. national team, including Shannon MacMillan, Julie Foudy and Joy Fawcett who played for the San Diego Spirit. The WUSA folded in 2003 after just three seasons, but its memories remain.
