Few player have amazed me as much or as often as @gopherwhockey.bsky.social Sr. Abbey Murphy. She is assaulting the GWH record books and will be heading to Italy to represent USA in the '26 Olympics. I had a chance to sit with Abbey as she preps for the journey.

The @GopherWHockey turn in their most cohesive period of the year and score 4 times in the 3rd to run away with this one in Madison.
Bouveng w/ 2G, D'Alessandro scores her first GWH goal, Murphy and Morrow also light the lamp.
It's the first W in Madison since 12/3/21
