I too, was wondering which sport, until I saw she scored four goals and assumed soccer.

It might have been nice had you mentioned what sport she plays. Sorry, I was not previously familiar with her and I suspect I'm not the only one.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I didn't know which sport until I read the last sentence.
