2001 Philadelphia Charge season

After establishing the team in November 2000, the inaugural roster for the Philadelphia Charge began to form through a series of drafts organized by WUSA. All eight teams first participated in the WUSA player allocation intended to distribute top players, notably from the American team that won the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup the previous year.{{cite web|title=WUSA kick-started|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/news/2000/05/24/wusa_players_ap/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010713004930/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/news/2000/05/24/wusa_players_ap/|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 13, 2001|work=Sports Illustrated|accessdate=April 4, 2020|date=May 24, 2000}} The Charge were first allocated US international midfielder Lorrie Fair, being the team's first official player. Goalkeeper, Saskia Webber, and forward, Mandy Clemens finished out the initial allocation for the 2001 season.{{cite web |url=http://www.soccertimes.com/proleagues/wusa/2000/may24.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130510084736/http://www.soccertimes.com/proleagues/wusa/2000/may24.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 10, 2013 |title=Hamm is assigned to play in Washington as first 24 allocations are announced. |author=Robert Wagman |publisher=SoccerTimes |date=May 24, 2000 |accessdate=April 3, 2020}}

After distribution of domestic talent, WUSA hosted the WUSA foreign player allocation, assigning rights of foreign players amongst the eight teams. The Charge drafted German international defender Doris Fitschen and English midfielder Kelly Smith, both signed before the start of the season.{{cite web |url=http://www.soccertimes.com/proleagues/wusa/2000/oct31.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130510060631/http://www.soccertimes.com/proleagues/wusa/2000/oct31.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 10, 2013 |title=WUSA conducts inaugural foreign player allocation draft. |publisher=SoccerTimes |date=October 30, 2000 |accessdate=April 3, 2020}}

With domestic and international talent allocated, the Charge announced in November 2000 that University of Hartford women's soccer coach, Mark Krikorian, would be appointed the first head coach of the team.{{cite web |url=https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-xpm-2000-11-20-0011201736-story.html |title=KRIKORIAN TO TAKE CHARGE OF PHILADELPHIA FRANCHISE |author=Mark Pukalo |publisher=The Hartford Courant |date=November 20, 2000 |accessdate=April 3, 2020}} Prior to the start of the season, Krikorian would bring on former Swedish international Pia Sundhage and John Natale as assistant coaches.{{cite web |url=https://www.socceramerica.com/publications/article/8769/wusa-notes-assistant-coach-and-front-office-hirin.html |title=WUSA Notes: Assistant coach and front-office hirings |publisher=SoccerAmerica |date=February 1, 2001 |accessdate=April 3, 2020}} Rosters were filled out in December 2000, where the league hosted the first WUSA Draft{{cite web|url=https://www.socceramerica.com/publications/article/13409/wusa-complete-draft-results.html |title=WUSA: Complete Draft Results |publisher=SoccerAmerica |date=December 10, 2000 |accessdate=April 3, 2020}} Notable acquisitions for the Charge included Chinese international midfielder, Liu Ailing, US international defender, Heather Mitts, and US international midfielder Laurie Schwoy.

The Charge played their first match in team history away at San Diego Spirit earning their first win. The team's first goal was a penalty kick scored by Doris Fitschen, followed up by a 62nd minute goal from Kelly Smith.{{cite web|url=http://www.wusa.com/boxscores/box_phi_sd_04222001.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011007154709/http://www.wusa.com/boxscores/box_phi_sd_04222001.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 7, 2001 |title=WUSA {{!}} PHILADELPHIA CHARGE (1-0-0) VS SAN DIEGO SPIRIT (0-1-0) |publisher=WUSA |date=April 22, 2000 |accessdate=April 4, 2020}} The Charge would finish their first season 4th in the standings, securing the final spot in the first WUSA Playoffs. On August 18, the Charge played their post season match at Atlanta Beat, losing in extra time 3-2, Philadelphia goals scored by Kelly Smith and Mandy Clemens.{{cite web|url=http://www.wusa.com/boxscores/box_phi_atl_08182001.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010821165432/http://www.wusa.com/boxscores/box_phi_atl_08182001.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 21, 2001 |title=WUSA {{!}} PHILADELPHIA CHARGE (0-1-0) VS ATLANTA BEAT (1-0-0) |publisher=WUSA |date=August 18, 2000 |accessdate=April 4, 2020}}

Liu Ailing emerged as the primary scoring threat for the Charge, scoring 10 goals in the regular season from 19 starts and registering the team's first hattrick against Carolina Courage.{{cite web|url=https://www.statscrew.com/womenssoccer/leaders/l-WUSA/y-2001 |title=2001 Women's United Soccer Association Leaders |website=statscrew.com |accessdate=April 4, 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.socceramerica.com/publications/article/11393/wusa-liu-ailing-hat-trick-spurs-philly-rout.html |title=WUSA: Liu Ailing hat trick spurs Philly rout |publisher=SoccerAmerica |date=August 7, 2000 |accessdate=April 4, 2020}}
