The veteran midfielder wore the captain's armband and involved herself in the US attack early and throughout the match
Thursday night marked the last veteran winger and notorious "game face" wearer Heather O'Reilly will sport the U.S. crest as a women's national team player, and she ensured fans witnessing her performance in Columbus would not soon forget her.
In an international friendly against Thailand, two veteran American players would headline the box score in a 6-0 rout staged at MAPFRE Stadium.
O'Reilly has borne the number 9 jersey ever since the esteemed Mia Hamm handed down the number upon retiring in 2004.
