Sarah Bullard (2g) ( Needham , Mass. /Duke ’11), the youngest player on Team USA , won Player of the Match for her strong play between the lines. Starting goalie Devon Wills ( Denver , Colo. / Dartmouth ’06) had three saves in the first half. Keeper Megan Huether (Lutherville, Md./Duke ’06) had one stop in the second half.
