KASHIMA, Japan -- For the second time during the 2020 Summer Olympics, a former Badger standout has won a medal as Rose Lavelle led the U.S. women's soccer team to bronze on Thursday thanks to a 4-3 win over Australia.
The four-time first-team All-Big Ten standout made four starts for the U.S. in its run to its sixth-ever Olympic medal, scoring the team's first goal in its 6-1 win over New Zealand in group play. The Cincinnati native also scored in the shootout to lead the U.S. past the Netherlands in quarterfinal play.
