Forward Mia Hamm scored four goals over the weekend as the U.S. women rolled to a pair of easy wins over the South Korean national team. Hamm, who missed the first two games of the women’s gold-medal victory tour after her brother passed away, scored just 49 seconds into a 7-0 win in Milwaukee. She also tallied in the 18th minute of that win, and added another pair of goals in a 6-1 victory May 4 in St. Charles, Ill.
Onetime Portland teammates Shannon MacMillan and Tiffeny Milbrett each had a pair of goals in Friday’s match, and former Monmouth star Christie Pearce netted her first international goal when she scored from a very tight angle with eleven minutes to play. Kristine Lilly, Debbie Keller, and Justi Baumgardt each scored in the May 4 match.
The U.S. will wind up its victory tour this weekend with matches against England on May 9 in San Jose (7:30 p.m. pacific time — shown delayed on ESPN at midnight eastern), and May 11 in Portland (2:00 p.m. pacific time).
