SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Three current members of the UC Santa Barbara women's soccer team - Tammy Lenham, Jacqui Simon and Natalie Weeks - will spend their summer playing in the W-League of the United Soccer. They will compete as members of the Ventura County Fusion.

The 2008 W-League campaign features a 41-team format in four conferences playing 12 or 14 regular season matches. The top women's players throughout the world compete in the USL W-League through the summer months.

In addition to featuring international and former professional stars, elite collegiate players have the opportunity to compete in the league while maintaining their collegiate eligibility.
