It’s been a pretty spectacular year for USC’s Amy Rodriguez. Already a 2007 NCAA champion with the Women of Troy, Rodriguez captured an Olympic gold medal today in Beijing, as the U.S. women’s soccer team edged Brazil 1-0 in extra time for the USA’s third Olympic gold. A first-time Olympian, Rodriguez was an unwavering spark on the front lines throughout the Games. In the final against Brazil, it was Rodriguez who set up the game-winning goal from Carli Lloyd, slipping a pass back to Lloyd for the assist on the golden strike.
