...she was wearing. Maybe I should have know this, but I didn't.

Hollins is actually the surname of her husband, Brian Hollins, while the 316 refers to the number of games she played for the US Women’s National Soccer Team.

Impressive career, indeed.

Her teammates got it in gear scored four goals in the last 30 minutes.

I keed, I keed.

But with any luck, her Gotham team in the NWSL could meet up with my beloved Thorns in the playoffs. The Rose City Riveters would give her a most appropriate send-off.
