Whether you

know it yet or not, we've got The Beat.

The Atlanta

Beat, Atlanta's team in the WUSA, the women's eight-team professional

soccer league, will start its training camp in March and its season in

April. The league recently had its draft and chose, among other players,

Peachtree City's Julie and Nancy Augustyniak.

The Augustyniaks

were members of the Atlanta Classics, Atlanta's W-League team. They attended

McIntosh High School and currently attend Clemson University. The two

defenders will be teamed with another former Classic player, forward Kerry

Gragg.

The team also

has some national team members, including Cindy Parlow and Briana Scurry.

The Beat also selected China's Sun Wen, who will be a force on offense.

Other players on the Beat are Homare Sawa, Charmaine Hooper and Sharolta

Nonen of Canada, Kylie Bivens of Santa Clara University, and Lisa Kryzykowskie

and Marci Miller of Chicago's W-League team, The Cobras.
