Excerpt: Kara Bomh Lang (born October 22, 1986) is a Canadian soccer player, who currently plays for Vancouver Whitecaps Women. At only 22, Lang is already Canada's second-leading all-time international women's goalscorer. She was born in Calgary, Alberta and raised in Oakville, Ontario. Kara was ranked as the #1 recruit in the 2005 recruiting class, and chose to attend the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) where she is studying communications with an aim of a future career in broadcast journalism. Lang was named as a preseason All-American, which is a notably achievement for a freshman. The UCLA Bruins, under head coach Jillian Ellis, compiled an overall record of 22-2-2 in the 2005-2006 season, was ranked 4th nationally, and won the PAi10 title on the strength of excellent team defence. Lang started her college career with a splash, scoring a hat-trick in her second game. In the 2005 NCAA tournament, Lang was at her finest, scoring 8 goals in 6 games. Lang's UCLA Bruins met the University of Portland in the NCAA final, where Lang came up against one of her international teammates, Christine Sinclair; Portland won the title with a 4-0 win. Lang finished her Freshman year at UCLA with 17 goals and 6 assists in 24 games, finishing second in team scoring behind Danesha Adams. She took a medical redshirt in the 2006 season after tearing an ACL during the offseason, and will have three more years of athletic eligibility at UCLA. 2007; Played in 17 matches starting 16 ...
