Becky Sauerbrunn figures she became a soccer player, rather than just someone who plays soccer, when she was 14 years old, when she went to her first Olympic development camp and it all became serious. So when she retired from the game in December, at the age of 39, she had spent almost two-thirds of her life in pursuit of the game. It dictated her daily routines, when she woke, what she ate, and larger ones, like when she could go on vacation or what family events she could take part in.
Simon Becher couldn't get off a shot but drew a penalty kick in closing minutes Saturday to set up City SC's first win since March.
