Last night, American soccer fans descended on Columbus for the second time in two months, this time to watch the U.S. Women's National Team play New Zealand in an international friendly at Crew Stadium. The Stars and Stripes tied New Zealand 1-1, with forward Sydney Leroux scoring the Americans' only goal in the 42nd minute. Adam Jardy from the Columbus Dispatch provides a recap of the match.
Crew Investor-Operator and Chairman Anthony Precourt has been very vocal about his desire to take the club to new heights. What changes should fans expect for 2014? Andrew King from FOX Sports Ohio sat down with Precourt to discuss that very question, among others.
