US Soccer & Fans Rally Around Lauren Holiday Before Surgery

Wife of New Orleans Pelican guard Jrue Holiday and retired USWNT midfielder Lauren Holiday prepared to undergo surgery on a benign brain tumor Thursday. The procedure was held off until after the recently pregnant Holiday gave birth to a healthy baby girl in late September, according to USA Today Sports.

USWNT and the rest of the soccer world rallied around Holiday as she prepared for her surgery. Her former teammates wore tape on their wrists labeled “LH12,” Holiday’s initials and number, in their game Wednesday night.

Last night we played for you. Praying for you and sending A LOT of love your way today!
