CHULA VISTA, Calif. - Former Terrapin great Katie O'Donnell earned her 100th cap with Team USA this week, as the Americans beat Great Britain 3-2 and tied with Spain at 0-0.

A three-goal outburst in the second-half led the USA Women's National Team to a 3-2 victory over Great Britain Monday in Terrassa, Spain. In the second half, O'Donnell scored Team USA's second goal to make it 2-0.

The game was O'Donnell's 100th game with the U.S. Senior National Team.

"Whether I am playing in my first game or my 100th game, the feeling I get when I step on the field is the same," said O'Donnell. "I am representing my country and it is an honor."

At the age of 23, O'Donnell is one of the most decorated players in U.S. field hockey history. As a 16-year-old in 2005, she became the youngest athlete ever to earn an international cap for the U.S. In October 2010, she became the first field hockey player to be named Sportswoman of the Year by the Women's Sports Foundation. O'Donnell's goal is not only to make the Olympic Squad this summer, but also to come home from the Games with a piece of hardware around her neck.

On Wednesday, the Americans played Spain to a 0-0 tie.
