Here's a good article on this match from the WUSA site: The Lightning Game: UNC-Notre Dame, 1997 By Tim Nash
Tim's article Thanks, Fear. That was great. I was at the Final Four that year, rooting for UNC and expecting to see a rematch of these two powerhouses, but when Sara Whalen led UConn to their upset, I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, I was extremely happy and relieved not to have to face the Irish again that season!
Tim Nash That's the guy. Training Soccer Champions, by Anson Dorrance, with Tim Nash. He's been very active in soccer journalism -- magazines, books, online media outlets, and probably other things I don't even know about. He was also the "with" author with Lauren Gregg on her book, The Champion Within, and with Michelle Akers for her book, Standing Fast, both published several years ago. Good writer and I reckon he's a good editor too.
