U.S. Soccer Wire: U.S. Women Win 2002 Women's Gold Cup, Earn 2003 Women's World Cup Berth
Nov. 12, 2002
The U.S. Women's National Team won the 2002 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup in dramatic fashion on Saturday with a 94th minute "golden goal" from Mia Hamm in overtime to defeat Canada 2-1 in the championship game on a wet, soggy field at the Rose Bowl. It was Hamm's first goal of the tournament, but the 136th of her career. Hamm's goal was a thing of brilliance as she chipped a ball over Canadian goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc while fighting off defender Breanna Boyd at the top of the penalty area.
