| USASA Hall of Fame 2009 Spotlight: Consalvo Turchi, Pat Varsallona |
 Back in July USASA started its Hall of Fame Spotlight, bringing two inductees at a time. We conclude our series this month with the last two individuals who along the other six will be honored at the Hall of Fame Dinner Ceremony on October 10th in Mesa, Arizona. Here are this month's Bios:
Consalvo Turchi came to the United States with his family of eight from Sardinia, Italy, in August of 1958. With soccer in his blood and endowed with organizational skills, within his first week in this country, Turchi started the Maiella Soccer Club with his father and played with three of his brothers on that team. In 1964, he began to play with Molfetta and stayed in the Schaffer League for nine years. Read More.
 Pat Varsallona began playing while still a little boy living in Italy. In 1969, he played at Mercer County Community College for the 1969-1970 season. There, he played as a member of the Defending National Champions in 1969 and contributed to their third place national finish in 1970. Pat was also a member of Drexel University's soccer team in 1971, and a year later he was positioned as a midfielder leading the team to their only other appearance in the NCAA Playoffs since the school's 1956 National Championship.
