CARSON, Calif. (AP) – Michelle Akers, Paul Caligiuri and Eric Wynalda were chosen Wednesday for induction into the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame.

The trio will be inducted at Oneonta, N.Y., on Oct. 9.

The American stars have scored some of the most memorable goals in U.S. history.

Akers, the third woman inducted into the hall, had both goals for the victorious Americans in the 1991 Women’s World Cup. She scored the first goal in the history of the U.S. women’s team, and her 105 goals for the national team include the decisive score in the 1991 FIFA championship and the clinching penalty kick against Brazil in the 1999 World Cup.

“I feel like I’ve had a long career, the way my body feels today,” Akers said in a conference call.

Caligiuri put the United States into the men’s World Cup for the first time in 40 years when he scored on a 35-yard volley against Trinidad and Tobago in 1989.

The defenseman played all but 18 minutes of the Americans’ matches in the 1990 and 94 World Cups. He said he’s still committed to soccer, saying, “I’m coaching the men’s and women’s programs at Cal Poly-Pomona. My commitment to the game is far from over.”

Wynalda had a highlight-reel free kick against Switzerland in the 1994 World Cup that was one of the most spectacular scores of the tournament.

Akers received 70 of 73 votes in balloting by American soccer coaches and a national media panel.

Wynalda received 68 votes and Caligiuri had 65.
