Gina Segadelli
American soccer player
Gina Segadelli (née Cassella; born April 19, 1966) is an American former soccer player who played as a forward, making two appearances for the United States women's national team.
Early life and education
Segadelli played for the Mariner Marauders in high school, where she was a two-time All-American. She also played basketball, softball, and track and field.
Segadelli attended the University of California, Santa Barbara and began in Fall 1984. While a student, she played 13 games for the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos soccer team, where she scored twelve goals and registered ten assists in 1984. However, she suffered a major knee injury against Westmont College in October 1984 that would ultimately end her collegiate career. Despite an initial recovery, she re-injured her knee in Spring 1985 which ruled her out of a soccer tour of China that summer. She opted to leave Santa Barbara afterwards.
National team career
Segadelli made her international debut for the United States on August 14, 1992, in the New England Sports Museum Challenge Cup (a friendly tournament) against Norway. She earned her second and final cap two days later against the same opponent, scoring in the 2–4 loss.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Gina Segadelli” as american soccer player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as american soccer player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q66382968. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1966, 1984, 1985 and 1992.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
