And who could blame her?
After over six months of intensive rehabilitation for a back injury she suffered in preseason, Heath had started her first match since last October's home defeat by the Western New York Flash.
“I felt great,” Heath said of the performance. “The team's been fantastic with the re-entry and helping me out…Feeding off the crowd and the energy in Providence Park is easy to do.
