Field Hockey Team Gets a Tie
The U.S. women's field hockey team returned to Olympic competition after a 12-year absence and earned a 2-2 draw against Argentina, the world's No. 2-ranked team, at the Beijing Olympic Green Field Hockey Stadium. At the 2007 Pan American Games, Argentina defeated the U.S., 4-2, in the finals.
The U.S. team fell behind, 2-0, just 10 minutes 46 seconds into the game.
Keli Smith (University of Maryland grad) scored a goal midway through the first half, and Angela Loy (Virginia Beach/ODU) scored the tying goal late in the second half.
The U.S. women now face Japan on Tuesday.

In fact, nearly the entire squad has been produced either by ODU, or by Maryland and other ACC schools:
