MINNEAPOLIS — Briana Scurry walked into the auditorium at Wayzata High School in Plymouth, Minn., on Wednesday night, and a tall man hugged her, saying, "Welcome home."
The man was Chad Chastain. His sister is Brandi Chastain, whose shootout kick won the 1999 World Cup. His wife is Erin Chastain, the Minnesota Gophers soccer coach and a Wayzata alum.
Shortly before Brandi Chastain scored and flexed and became a symbol of women's sports, Scurry made a remarkable diving save in the shootout against China, a bookend moment to Chastain's that is often forgotten.
