“I remember the moment Abby [Wambach] went down really clearly,” said Angela Hucles, who starred in college at the University of Virginia from 1996 to 1999 and debuted for the U.S. Women’s National Team in 2002. “I remember the feeling standing on the sideline, not wanting to start bawling, but the emotions were welling up and I was trying to stifle that.
