BALTIMORE, Md. – Renee Olsen was already late when she arrived at the Soccerdome in Jessup, Md., with her two young boys. The soccer game was under way, and she was still strapping on shinguards, pulling up socks and tying shoelaces.
The difference? They were her shinguards, socks and soccer shoes. Olsen’s boys were there to cheer on their 33-year-old mother. She’s a real soccer mom.
Likewise, Sandy Ranck has three soccer-playing sons, but she’s the one on the field Friday nights for the Shooters.
