Edmontonians Stacy Dahlbeck and Lyndsay Stewart along with Calgarian Tara Luciana are the newest members of the Edmonton Aviators USL W-League Women’s team. Stacy Dahlbeck, Lyndsay Stewart and Tara Luciana were all members of the national U-17 Alberta soccer team in 2003. As integral members of a very talented team, Stacy, Lyndsay and Tara helped bring home gold at the National championships. Stacy is a 5’6”, 135 lb. mid-fielder and striker. Lyndsay is a 5’4”, 115 lb. mid-fielder Tara is a 5’7”, 145 lb. striker “We have been watching these players and were impressed by the contributions that they made to the Provincial U-17 team. We are confident that these girls are great acquisitions given their competitive experience at the national level” said Joe Petrone, Director of Soccer Operations for the Edmonton Aviators Soccer Club. “We are thrilled to continually show our support for local and regional talent. Over the next few weeks, we will continue to sign local talent to fulfill our commitment to developing the game of soccer in our community”, said Petrone. The Edmonton Aviators are the newest addition to Edmonton’s professional sports scene. Both the Aviators Men’s and Women’s soccer teams will play in the United Soccer Leagues (USL). Both teams will play at Commonwealth Stadium beginning in spring of 2004.

martin lechelt Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Sounds like good signings, the local gals will have good fan appeal. The Aviator women would really benefit from a National Team signing. Someone like Sasha Andrews would really help and would build on love affair Edmonton had with the U19 National Team in 2002. I hope Petrone is working on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
