That is rather rare especially back then when DEI did not exist so it shows she deserved her spot on the team and good for her.

yeah, we were all rather surprised about how good she was especially since she was so much smaller and also a bit slower. It was right around this time that I started to realize that the rest of the world must be much better at this sport than us Americans are. I think that has changed but you need to keep in mind that this was pre-internet for the most part and the idea that football was as competitive as it is / was on a global scale wasn't something that really occurred to us.
