The U.S. Women's National Team arrived in sunny southern California on Friday, just days ahead of this afternoon's match against Australia in the WNT Fan Tribute Tour, presented by Panasonic.
The team took to the field at The Home Depot Center on Saturday in front of a spirited crowd as several players marked a return to their hometown of Los Angeles. Southern california natives Shannon Boxx, Alex Morgan and Amy Rodriguez along with transplant Abby Wambach (who is originally from Rochester, N.Y., but lives in LA now) were all excited to be among familiar surroundings.
