Playing on their home field, the USA Women's Olympic Field Hockey Team will welcome traditional Pan American rivals Canada and Mexico, as well as Belgium, France and Korea. The tournament champion will head to the BDO FIH 2010 Women's World Cup Rosario, Argentina in September.
"I am extremely honored and excited to be representing my country next week," says Ford. "It is a dream that I have had for a while now, and I am actually amazed that the time is here. We have been training hard all fall and winter to get ready for this tournament. I am hoping to seize the opportunity and continue working hard throughout the whole tournament."
