Philadelphia Lone Star Women host first ever home games amidst start of World Cup fever

While the focus of women’s soccer around the globe is centered around the World Cup in France this weekend, the Philadelphia Lone Star Women will be making a little history of their own with their first two home Women’s Premier Soccer League games.

Lone Star will welcome CAFC Osprey to the South Philadelphia Super Site today at 5 p.m. and Old Dominion Cesena USA at 4 p.m. on Sunday.

For midfielder Sophie Edelblut, the youngest player on the team at 17, playing for the inaugural women’s team for the club, offers her a chance to play in the city where she first fell in love with the game.
