Washington Warthogs

Washington Warthogs

The Washington Warthogs were a professional indoor soccer team in the Continental Indoor Soccer League (CISL) from 1994-1997. They played their home games in the US Airways Arena in Landover, Maryland, an arena they shared with the Washington Capitals and Washington Bullets.

The Warthogs featured the league's only female player, first with Colette Cunningham and then Kristine Lilly replaced her the next year. Also of note, their head coach, Jim Gabarra, was also a player. Gabarra was also coach of the United States women's national soccer team.

The Warthogs were particularly popular with families, as parents would take their kids to the inexpensive games. The team's popularity largely fed on growing participation in soccer among area youth.

The two top players of the team over its history were Denison Cabral and Dante Washington. Both went on to strong outdoor careers with Washington playing in MLS, and both currently are signed by the Baltimore Blast of the MISL.

Some games were televised on HTS.
