While many celebrated Mother’s Day with a tasty
brunch with Mom, the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team
(WNT) celebrated with domination. The WNT team
kicked off its three-game Send-Off Series on May 12
with a 3-0 victory over South Africa in Santa Clara’s
backyard, Levi’s Stadium.

It took the women a while to break through South
Africa’s defense during the first half. Several attempts
to find openings along the sideline were made by
Stanford alum Kelley O’Hara from her outside back
position.
