CONFERENCE KYLE REPLACES MR. KOALA
On occasion, U.S. Women's National Team players have been known to travel with a particularly meaningful stuffed animal, none more legendary than "Mr. Koala," a stuffed Koala Bear toy belonging to defender Jenny Benson, which she received on her first birthday and has taken on every single soccer trip she's ever been on. "Mr. Koala" made trips to China with Benson in 2001 and 2003, but as she is not on the roster for the Four Nations Tournament, midfielder Leslie Osborne's "Conference Kyle" is picking up the slack.
