Joy (Biefeld) Fawcett (United States) - Joy Fawcett was selected to represent the United States at the Olympics for the third time in 2004. Fawcett joins Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy and Kristine Lilly as one of four U.S. players who have played in four World Cups (1991, '95, '99 and '03). She is the most capped (224, through the end of 2003) and highest scoring defender (26, through the end of 2003) in U.S. history.

The 36-year-old defender played three seasons in the now-defunct WUSA for the San Diego Spirit. The product of Huntington Beach, Calif., earned first-team All-WUSA honors as well as the 2003 WUSA Defender of the Year award.

She still holds the Golden Bears' career records for points (133) and assists (23) and ranks second to Laura Schott (1999-02) for goals with 55. Fawcett is the ultimate soccer mom, as she remains on top of her game while she and her husband, Walter, raise their three daughters, Katelyn, Carli and Madilyn.

Under head coach Linda Wells (Arizona State), the team will be composed of American players with Greek heritage. Ninemire has led Cal to the NCAA postseason during each of her 17 seasons at the helm, including trips to the College World Series in 1992, '96, '99, '00, '01, '02, '03 and '04. The Golden Bears won it all in 2002 and advanced to the championship game again in 2003 and in 2004. In 2002, Ninemire was named Speedline National Coach of the Year following the season and in 2003 she was named Pacific Regional Coach of the Year. Two of Ninemire's former players - Michele Granger and Gillian Boxx - were four-time All-Americans and helped the United States win a gold medal as members of the 1996 U.S. Olympic softball team.

Lindsay James, Sophomore (Greece) - Because her great grandfather, Anastasious Thimis, was Greek, Lindsay James was chosen to try out for the inaugural Greek Olympic softball team.

A speedy contact hitter out of Sequoia High School in San Carlos, Calif., James has been an integral part of the Bears lineup for two seasons now. As a freshman, the slap-hitter received All-Pac-10 honorable mention and was named to the All-Pacific Region second team. She continued to mature during the 2004 season, winding up the year with a .356 batting average, 51 runs scored and 23 stolen bases.
