Venus James Released by
CyberRays
SAN
JOSE CA (January 10, 2002) Midfielder
Venus James has been waived by the WUSA champion San Jose CyberRays and
claimed by the Carolina Courage. The
roster moves, concluded over the winter holiday break, bring the CyberRays’
roster down to 17 players, one below the WUSA limit, in advance of the 2002
Global Draft on Feb. 11. James,
22, is a native of Oakland and was chosen by the CyberRays in the 11th
round of the 2000 WUSA Global Draft after completing her final UCLA season
with an appearance in the NCAA championship game at Spartan Stadium. She
appeared in 11 matches for the CyberRays, nine as a starter, as a flank
midfielder. James
became expendable when the CyberRays changed their system from five
midfielders in a 3-5-2 alignment to three in a 4-3-3. The
CyberRays will open training camp for their Founders Cup defense March 1 and
will open the season in mid-April.
