Women's soccer shuts out New Zealand

| | Comments (0) |

USC product Amy Rodriguez scored a goal for the U.S. women's soccer team in its 4-0 win over New Zealand on Tuesday.
"Today was a special moment for our team," Rodriguez said. "Scoring four goals was a great feeling and getting my first Olympic goal was exciting. I'm so proud of the team and how we performed out there."
The United States advanced to the quarterfinals with the win and are the top team left in the Olympic tournament. The United States and Norway each have six points after pool play, but because Japan beat Norway 5-1, the United States earns the top spot based on goal differential.
Heather O'Reilly, Lindsay Tarpley and Angela Hucles also scored for the United States.
The next U.S. match will be at Shanghai Stadium on Friday.
