Four Rush Players Make College Debut in San Diego
The No. 1 USC Trojans women's soccer team opened the 2008 season with a 1-0 overtime victory over the No. 24 USD Toreros in San Diego. Absent from the match was Olympic gold-medalist Amy Rodriguez. However, two former Rush players Brittany Kerridge (Colorado Rush) and Carly Butcher (Alaska Rush) received good minutes in their USC debuts.
San Diego looked extremely impressive in their season debut, as they went toe-to-toe with the defending national champs forcing an overtime period. In the first half, the Toreros dominated the time of possession and out-shot the Trojans 6-3. Included on the USD roster were two more Rush players, Maggie Maguire (Alaska Rush) and Brooke Hickerson (Colorado Rush).
Kerridge and Hickerson were teammates in Colorado as they recently won the 2008 U18 National Championship. Maguire and Hickerson had similar success while winning eight State Championships while with the Alaska Rush. Congratulations and good luck with your college seasons!

Aaron King to Play in US Open Cup Final
Former Colorado Rush standout Aaron King will be playing in his first ever US Open Cup Final with the Charleston Battery of the USL on Wednesday, September 3rd at 7:30 p.m. EST. The game will be televised on Fox Soccer Channel.
The Charleston Battery earned a place in the U.S. Open Cup final for the first time in club history after winning a penalty kick shootout with the Seattle Sounders in the semifinals. The Battery are the first non-MLS team to advance to the final since the Rochester Raging Rhinos won the tournament in 1999.
King began his professional career with the LA Galaxy by being selected in the fourth round of the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. On February 8, 2006, the Galaxy sent King to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for a first round pick in the 2007 MLS Supplemental Draft. In the spring of 2007, the Charleston Battery signed King after he impressed the team at trials.
