Lauren Cheney in the 16th!!!
Fine buildup, looks to shoot right footed from the top of the box, no angle, switches back left, takes a (not so strong) shot, bounces off a defender's foot, and rolls across the line past an off balance goalie.

Still 1-0 in the 30th.
More pressure in the box for us, but not the smoothest stuff.

Wambach in the 32nd. Couldn't tell who the fine cross was from, but a sweeping finish at the back post off Abby's left foot for the tally.
