GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida fans have been familiar with soccer star Abby Wambach since she arrived at UF from Pittsford, N.Y., 17 years ago and led the Gators to the program's only national title in her freshman season.
The 35-year-old Wambach is now a veteran international soccer figure, trying to help the U.S. National Women's Team win the 2015 World Cup in what is expected to be her final appearance in the event.
Wambach had an opportunity to tie former Brazil star Marta -- you know you're good when you only need one name -- as the all-team leading goal scorer in women's World Cup history in Monday's 2-0 win against Colubia.
However, Wambach's second-half penalty shot missed wide, leaving her one off Marta's mark of 15.
Wambach and the USWNT next plays on Friday night against China.
