When the Women’s World Cup kicks off on the networks of ESPN on Sunday, June 26, you will see some familiar faces and hear familiar voices like Bob Ley, Ian Darke, Julie Foudy and Brandi Chastain. One person whom you may not have seen is Rebecca Lowe who works for ESPN UK on its English Premier League coverage as well as hosting one of its weekly studio shows. She joined ESPN UK in 2009 from Setanta Sports and she previously worked for BBC Sport. We have a short bio and pic.
