Mallory Swanson hopes the U.S. team's opening win at the Olympics is just the start as they prepare to face Germany next.
After all that Mallory Swanson went through last year, she's grateful to be in France for the Olympics. She also plans to shake things up for the U.S. team. So far she's on track: She scored two goals in the Americans' Olympic opener, a 3-0 victory over Zambia. Swanson was the team's leading scorer with seven goals in six games to start last year when she injured her knee in a friendly match against Ireland in the run-up to the Women's World Cup.
' Rodman, making her Olympic debut, scored the other goal in the shutout of Zambia. 'We're more than what everybody thinks. We're not just an athletic team with fast forwards. We're so much more than that,' Rodman said. 'We need to believe deep down that we can break down teams. If that's passing it up and laying it off and moving off of each other, there's so much more depth that we can bring.
