The US Women continued the Achieve Your Gold Tour on November 1st in the second block of games, a 3-game tour against South Korea. The US took on the Koreans in Richmond, VA, home state of Olympic Gold medalist Angela Hucles, and are 4 for 4 in the 10 game victory tour.

Hucles got the scoring started in the 29th minute. Heather O'Reilly sent a pass from the right side of the box to the far post where Hucles finished it off.

In the 38th minute, Hucles set up the second goal for the USA. She slipped a pass to the left side of the penalty area where Natasha Kai crossed the ball to the back post, where O Reilly dribbled the ball into the empty net.

Just three minutes into the second half, Aly Wagner sent a long pass to Lindsay Tarpley near the corner of the box. Tarpley noticed the keeper off her line and kicked a perfectly dipping ball to the far post and into the goal.

In the 71st minute, the Koreans got a goal on a defensive error in the US backline. Hang Son I waited for Briana Scurry, US second half sub, to come off her line and slipped a shot to the back post, into the net.

The US plays S. Korea again on Nov. 5 in Cincinnati, Ohio, home of defender Heather Mitts. The match kicks off at 7:30pm ET at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati.
