History
FC Indiana is widely regarded as one of the premier women's soccer clubs in the world. In 2005, F.C. Indiana became the second North American women's team ever to win league and cup double, by winning the WPSL national championship and the USASA US Open Cup national championship. (The Carolina Courage of now-defunct Women's United Soccer Association won the Founder's Cup and WUSA League Title in 2002.) FC Indiana won the 2005 title, having defeated host New England Mutiny 4-0 in the 2005 semifinals and California Storm 5-4 (featuring internationals Brandi Chastain, Leslie Osborne and Sissi) in the 2005 finals. In 2007, the club won its second WPSL title in three season, defeating the New England Mutiny 3-0. In October 2007, FC Indiana joined the W-League.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
