Archbishop Spalding's Nairn excelling on worldwide stage

Archbishop Spalding grad Christine Nairn, last year's Metro Player of the Year in girls soccer, has fit right in as the youngest member of the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team, which is currently competing in the 2008 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile.

After getting two starts in pool play to help the U.S. win Group B with a 2-1 mark, Nairn was a second-half replacement in yesterday's 3-0 quarterfinal win over England, notching two assists in the victory. When on the field, Nairn, who will attend Penn State in the spring, has taken all the team's corner kicks and free kicks. The U.S. is set to return to action tonight in the semifinal round.
