Tisha Lea Venturini-Hoch (born March 3, 1973 in Modesto , California ) is a former American soccer player . She played nine years in the US national team with which she won the Olympic gold medal in 1996 and the 1999 World Cup.
life and career
Tisha played from 1991 to 1994 for the Tar Heels, the team of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and then in the USL W-League for the San Jose CyberRays, the Delaware Genies and again the Bay Area CyberRays .
She played her first international game on August 14, 1992 in a 3-1 draw against Norway and was a regular from then on. She scored her first international goal on August 10, 1993 in a 3-0 win against Germany after the team had previously lost to Germany twice in a row. Their first major tournament was the 1993 CONCACAF Women's Championship , which their team won. In the following Algarve Cup , which was held for the first time in 1994 and in which the USA came second, it was not used. Immediately afterwards, however, she was back in the team and was only not used in the 10-0 win against Jamaica in the 1994 CONCACAF Women's Championship . By winning this tournament, the USA qualified for the 1995 World Cup . She was also used in all games at the World Cup and scored two goals, including one in the game for third place against the People's Republic of China . Immediately after the World Cup, she scored three goals in an international match for the first time in the first women's US Cup in a 9-0 win against the Republic of China (Taiwan) . In January 1996 she was not used in the "Brazil Soccer Cup", in which Kristine Lilly and Mia Hamm were the first US players to make their 100th international match. Her own 100th international match followed on May 8, 1998. Before that, she had won the gold medal in the first ever women's Olympic soccer tournament at the Atlanta Olympic Games . She scored the first goal in the US Girls' first Olympic game in a 3-0 win against Denmark . She also scored the first goal in the second game against Sweden .
In 1997 she was still part of the starting XI, but has now been substituted in most games. From 1998 she was then usually substituted on, but on April 22, 1999 after her substitution, she scored the 2-1 winner against China and was appointed to the squad for the 1999 World Cup . Before the World Cup, she played with the national team against a FIFA World Cup in February 1999 on the occasion of the group draw for the 1999 World Cup. The game is not counted as an official international match. At the World Cup, however, her main task was to motivate her teammates from the bench and was only used in the third group game against North Korea, as coach Tony DiCicco wanted to spare some of the previously used players. But then she made the 3-0 victory perfect with two goals. After that she was only substituted on in the final five minutes before the end of extra time, but could not prevent the penalty shoot-out . In this she did not have to compete, but became world champion because all five teammates met and her goalkeeper colleague could save a penalty. In the first four games after the World Cup she was substituted on, then five games took place without her before she was back in the starting line-up in February 2000 and in the group games of the Algarve Cup 2000 . She was not used in the final, which her teammates won 1-0 against Norway and won the Algarve Cup for the first time. The group game against Sweden on March 16, 2000 remained her 134th and last international match in which she scored 47 goals, which puts her in 11th place on the list of goalscorers (as of September 4, 2018). The number of their internationals and goals was only set to 134 games and 47 goals in August 2016 after the US federation came across two internationals played in January 1995 when reviewing its statistics, which had not been taken into account until then and in which they had a mission. In some statistics that have not yet been updated, it is therefore still listed with 132 international matches.
After her active career, she founded "The First Soccer Academy" together with her former teammates Mia Hamm and Kristine Lilly
