Post Reply Return to Olympic

She scored the winnng goal for ND last Women's Scocer Championship when she was a freshman. Transferred to Florida a year later, but she's got the NCAA ring, so to speak.

Well, she's now got a gold medal for Canada, with our northern neighbors just taking a penalty shoot win over Sweden. Leon had her PK blocked, but Canada won it a few players later.

BTW, while we're on that subject of programs that have settled into mediocrity -- then coach Randy Waldrum, during his stint at Pittsburgh, left mid-season to become Manager/Coach for the Nigerian Women's National Team. They were not in the Olympic pool this time, but they played well against the U.S. in a friendly prior to the games. Young, good on the ball. Will be interesting to see wheat he does with them.

Nate Norman needs to step it up at ND this year....
