A first in Cup Qualifying for a player and team

By James Montague

APIA, Samoa (New York Times) ? Jonny Saelua did not always envision herself as an international soccer player. What she really wanted to do was join a dance company and ?travel the world just performing.? ?Anything modern, jazz, maybe a little bit of ballet,? said Saelua, a center back for American Samoa?s men?s team and a performing arts major at the University of Hawaii.

But for now, Saelua is doing her dancing in cleats. On Tuesday, the 23-year-old Saelua played a key role in American Samoa?s 2-1 victory against Tonga in a 2014 World Cup qualifier. It was American Samoa?s first victory in international soccer, ending a 30-game losing streak in which it had been outscored by 229-12.
