The U.S. women's national team filed two motions in federal district court on Friday, one seeking to postpone the trial currently scheduled to start June 16 and the other seeking to immediately appeal last week's ruling against them by Judge Gary Klausner.
On May 1, Klausner granted summary judgement in U.S. Soccer's favor regarding the USWNT's gender discrimination lawsuit, ruling that the team's Equal Pay Act claim and Title VII claim of discrimination based on turf conditions would not move forward.
The ruling was a major blow to the USWNT, who are seeking to demonstrate their federation paid them less than the USMNT solely because of their gender.
