In its inaugural season, Rampone and Sky Blue FC struggled, including the suspension of their first head coach Ian Sawyers and the resignation of his successor, Kelly Lindsey.
Sawyers was named head coach of the Bay Area CyberRays later known as the San Jose CyberRays, one of the eight founding member teams in the Women's United Soccer Association.
During her first season with her new club in 2002, coach Ian Sawyers handed Pretinha a deeper midfield role.
Sky Blue FC named Ian Sawyers as its first head coach and general manager on March 5, 2008.
