>>I refereed this afternoon and one of my ARs was a woman who was tremendously excited about the outcome. A few years ago when many of the women on the U.S. team were juniors she and her husband served as chaperones while they were playing in a tournament in Chicago.

Terri said they were doing Indian leg wrestling on the rug.
