Cindy Gordon

Cindy Gordon was played with pace and fire. Born and raised in Washington State, she played four years of NAIA soccer at Western Washington University, where she played against future national team teammate Denise Boyer. 

She first joined the U.S. Women’s National Team in 1985. Originally selected as an alternate for the trip to Jesolo, Gordon was quickly added to the full roster. 

“I would describe all the players on the ‘85 team as very passionate. They're all very scrappy, they're all fighters and all of us had made our play the number one thing in our life. Everybody was very high achievers and you can even see that if you follow people in their careers after we got out of soccer. We were just a real feisty bunch of fighters.”
