In the Books

The girls played their first game last night and it was a good one. Well it was high scoring and it was close so for tv it was a good game, of course there are always things to fix and improve but the win was the most important part. We had great fan support and that is a huge thing.

First game of the 2012 Olympic games is in the books. So is Maggie Steffens who lit it up with an Olympic record tying 7 goals in one game!! By far the most in an Olympic debut. Nice job Maggie! Courtney also had an incredible debut with 4 goals of her own. Great combo to lead the scoring.

After the game the parents, friends and families all stuck around to see their team USA women. The game was late so the park was emptying out. Looking around, we had a huge crowd of American supporters.

Love the support and joy the parents and players share when they get to see each other. I feel blessed to be included as a part of so many families on this team. Such a great group.

Thumbs up for the win. Loved it.
