U. S. women edge China
December 18, 2008, 6:31 AM /
Heather O’Reilly scored off a rebound in the 34th minute, helping the United States beat China, 1-0, in a women’s soccer match at Detroit’s Ford Field.
The victory gave the U. S. a record of 33-1-2 for 2008, extending its record for wins in a calendar year. The Americans won 28 of 34 matches in 2004.
Michigan native Lindsay Tarpley helped put the U. S. ahead when her looping shot hit the crossbar and O’Reilly tapped home the rebound for her 25th international goal.
China nearly tied the game before halftime, but American goalkeeper Hope Solo deflected Wang Dan Dan’s shot and was able to grab the loose ball before it could bounce over the line.
