Forty-eight hours is how long Team USA had to train together for the first day of the International Cup in Oklahoma City.
Players fresh off the NCAA softball and AUSL seasons make up the U.S. Women's Elite Team's 18-person roster of veterans and newcomers.
But something must have clicked in those two days as the U.S. Women's Elite Team fought together from a late deficit against No. 5 Chinese Taipei to a 6-4 victory in extra innings.
Thursday night at Devon Park was all about the former Duke star who didn't even start the game but sent in two home runs, Ana Gold.
"Playing for USA means so much more to me (than college)," Gold said. "It's just such an honor and a privilege to wear this jersey."
