US women reach semifinals

United States vs New Zealand, Women's Quarterfinals

The U.S. women's soccer team defeated New Zealand 2-0 on Friday to advance to the quarterfinals of the Olympic tournament.

Abby Wambach scored in the 27th minute for the U.S., which otherwise struggled to finish its chances.

New Zealand kept the game close until the 87th minute, when substitute Sydney Leroux scored the second goal for the U.S. just six minutes after checking into the game for Alex Morgan.

The U.S. advances to play either host Great Britain or North American rival Canada in the semifinal. France advanced to the semifinal earlier in the day with a 2-1 win over Sweden.

Sydney Leroux talks about being selected for the U.S. women's Olympic soccer team and what it means to her to break into the roster.
