Class of 2006 Panther alum Kelley O’Hara has been selected by US Women’s National Team (USWNT) Head Coach Pia Sundhage as one of 20 players to represent her country at the CONCACAF Olympic Women’s Qualifying Tournament in Vancouver, BC this week.  The two finalists of the tournament in the 8-team field will qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Kelley was also selected for the USWNT for last summer’s World Cup held in Germany where the US defeated strong teams from Brazil and France before losing in a dramatic final to Japan.  O’Hara will be playing her professional soccer for the Atlanta Beat in 2012.

Best wishes to Kelley and the O’Hara family in Vancouver and beyond.
