By AnnaGrace Hale | Sports Writer

The U.S. Women’s National Team faced off against England in a friendly this past Friday, hailing a momentous day for women’s soccer that reached beyond the 2-1 score line. It is no lie that the prominence of women’s soccer is growing throughout the world and this match held just as much importance outside of the 90-minutes of play as it did inside.

Despite the obvious rivalry, this game stood for something bigger. It was about women coming together in solidarity to display to the world that women can play soccer, and they can do it well despite the odds.
