The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team Road to Glory: American Heroes (Library edition)

By: Noah Davis, Rick Leddy

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

As soon as she turned, Carli Lloyd knew what to do. It was the same thing she'd done so many times during her soccer career, an action she practiced over and over again. It was something she had worked on just in case the right moment presented itself in a match. And this was the right moment. On the field at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada, Carli Lloyd knew what she needed to do. Shoot! American Heroes is the amazing story of the United States women's national soccer team: the good, the bad, and the ugly, the past the present, and the future. Come along for the ride; it's a tale filled with soaring wins, crushing losses, trophies, gold medals, and a few songs along the way.
