U.S. Women Near Olympic Qualification

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (US Soccer) – The U.S. Women’s National Team got two goals from Natasha Kai and one from Abby Wambach in a rousing 3-1 victory over Mexico in front of a sold-out crowd of 22,280 at the Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez.

The victory gave the USA first place in Group A at the 2008 CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament and a semifinal match against Group B runner-up Costa Rica on April 9 for a berth in the 2008 Olympics.

Canada, which defeated Costa Rica, 1-0, earlier today in the final match of Group B will face Mexico in the other semifinal.
