The U.S. women's soccer team continued their Achieve Your Gold Tour today at University of Richmond Stadium in Richmond, Virgninia, defeating South Korea 3-1. U.S. midfielder Angela Hucles scored the first goal of the match in the 27th minute on an assist by midfielder Heather O' Reilly. Less then ten minutes later the U.S. struck again on a pass from forward Natasha Kai to a waiting O' Reilly on the far post. The U.S. resumed its goal-scoring prowess five minutes into the second half with a long range shot by Lindsay Tarpley from the corner of the 18-yard box. South Korea was able to get on the board in the 71st minute with a goal by Hang Song Il who got the ball past a diving Scurry. The Achieve Your Gold Tour continues on November 5 when the United States play South Korea again at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati Ohio.
