Please join me in congratulating Dr. Hacker on her recent work and accomplishment as Assistant Coach for the US Women’s team that won The Soccer Tournament (TST)’s 7v7 World Championship last night against the NC Courage (6-3). See the team’s full roster and coaching staff here.
If you happened to miss the championship match on ESPN+, you can see the very end and the trophy celebration here. At the 4:04 mark, you might see a familiar face! 🙂
Notably:
- this was the FIRST TST women’s championship
- the FIRST $1,000,000.00 equal prize money for the TST 7v7 World Champions of both the women’s and men’s brackets
Congratulations on this accomplishment, Dr. Hacker!
