PORTLAND, Ore. – “Our last trip, things happened, and I ended up having lunch with Tobin.”
That’s Tobin Heath that Midge Purce is talking about; 138-time United States international, Tobin Heath. It was the day before the team’s Aug. 25 game in Washington, D.C., and despite the two having only been together on the same team for a matter of months, circumstances cast the duo alone, getting lunch together, 2,800 miles from home.
For some teammates – ones who’ve built a relationship together over many seasons – the event would be unremarkable.
