The U.S. Women’s National Team arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica, during the wee hours of Saturday morning after taking a late Friday night flight from Miami, where the team came together after their domestic legs. After spending 11 days in a gray and often chilly China at the end of January and beginning of February, the U.S. players were more than pleased to be engulfed by the warm Costa Rican humidity as soon as they exited the plane. The U.S. team, featuring 17 players who were on the roster for the Four Nations Tournament in China, left for Costa Rica just 10 days after returning from the Far East, and most had only recently recovered from the brutal Asian jet lag. Several players made, or will make, late arrivals to Costa Rica. U.S. midfielder Angela Hucles’ flight from Boston was delayed and she did not make the connection for the team
flight to costa rica. She had to spend the night in Miami before joining her teammates on Sunday morning. Forward Mia Hamm will join the team Sunday while goalkeeper Briana Scurry is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, both due to previously schedule engagements.
