Olympian Natasha Kai, a former Kahuku High and University of Hawai'i star, was allocated to the Sky Blue team yesterday as the new Women's Professional Soccer league divvied up the members of the U.S. national team to separate pro franchises.
Each of the seven teams in the WPS will receive three players from the national team, which won the Olympic gold medal in the recently completed Beijing Games.
Kai, along with Heather O'Reilly and Christie Rampone, were allocated to Sky Blue FC, which will play its games at Rutgers Stadium.
The league, scheduled to debut in April, will have franchises in the Bay Area, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, St. Louis, Washington and New York/New Jersey.
