Overbeck's Olympic Ride Inspires Current Blue Devils
In the 1990's, Duke Assistant Women's Soccer Coach Carla Overbeck captained the United States Women’s National Team that captivated the nation by winning two World Cups and Olympic gold in 1996. On long van rides, or during down time, Overbeck said that Duke players often have questions. “They’ll ask what it was like to play in front of all of those people, or how cool it was,” she reflected, “I don’t get all excited about stuff, or things, or awards... but the Olympic gold medal is pretty cool.”
