Rampone wants to play in New Jersey

The gold medalist U.S. women's soccer team has three more days in China, then a tour of American cities.
After that, defender Christie Rampone might be heading back to New Jersey for a while. Women's Professional Soccer kicks off next year, and the U.S. captain has her eye on Sky Blue, the New York/New Jersey club in the startup league.
"I would like to go back home," Rampone said Friday, just a few hours after the U.S. defeated Brazil 1-0 in overtime Thursday night to retain the Olympic gold medal. "It would be my first preference, but we'll see what happens."
