This broadcast of the 2001 NCAA Division I Women's College Cup was notable for the sheer number of women involved who would make later history as sports broadcasters on US English-language TV.
Play-by-play commentator Beth Mowins (now based in San Diego, California, USA) would become the first woman to call TV play-by-play commentary of a nationally-televised National Football League (NFL) game (and the 2nd woman overall after a gap of over 30 years), Los Angeles Chargers at Denver Broncos, on 11 September 2017 on ESPN (US):

Match analyst Julie Foudy would become the first woman to broadcast U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) when she served as match analyst/co-commentator (with Adrian Healey as play-by-play commentator) for the San Jose Earthquakes vs Los Angeles Galaxy match on 30 June 2012 on ESPN2 (US):

3 players on the Santa Clara Broncos women's soccer team who all live within 1 square mile of each other in San José, California, USA, Aly Wagner, Danielle Slaton and Leslie Osborne, all became sports broadcasters after they retired from competitive play and they have been involved in both men's and women's soccer television broadcasts in the US.
Wagner, in particular, became the first woman in the English-speaking world to broadcast a FIFA Men's World Cup match when she served as co-commentator for the Morocco vs Iran match for FOX Sports (US) (with Derek Rae as play-by-play commentator) on 15 June 2018:
