LOS ANGELES, CA (8/7/2009)) – After another successful WPSL season in which Arizona Rush repeated as Big Sky North Conference champions, team captain and striker Mallory Miller (2005 PAC-10 Player of the Year / University of Arizona) was one of two players in the country invited to train with the L.A. Sol of the Women's Professional Soccer league (WPS). Miller spent two intense days at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA training with the #1 ranked team in the WPS as they prepared for the playoffs. Training with such world class players as Marta (Brazil), Shannon Box (USA), Aly Wagner (USA), and Aya Miyama (Japan), Miller impressed L.A. Sol Head Coach Abner Rogers who see's her turning heads at the upcoming WPS combine in December. Miller's technical prowess, athleticism, and blue-collar work ethic have drawn the attention of several WPS coaching staffs that feel she is destined to compete in the world's top professional league next season.
Miller will be one of a several Arizona Rush players from the past two WPSL season's who will be invited to participate in the 2009 WPS combine and are considered legitimate professional candidates. Best of luck to all of our current and future professional players as they compete at the next level. The entire Rush organization takes great pride in your success!
Go Rush!
