Following her gold-medal clinching goal, Dansby Swanson put out a heartfelt message to acknowledge his wife's faith and dedication along with her 100th appearance for the national team.

"God is so good. Always and forever. You are such an inspiration to so many, but more to me than anyone can ever fathom. Your faith in God’s plan, gratitude in life, the grace and joy in which you live and play, the perseverance to fight through whatever obstacles thrown your way.

You are truly a gift from above, and you shine with that every day. I’m speechless. And now you’re a gold medal, Olympic champion, and 100 caps in the same day. And that can never be taken from you. I love you forever."

Mallory Swanson's goal helped the USWNT to their fifth gold medal at the event, the most by any team. She posted a picture of her with the gold medal on Instagram, captioning it:

"My God did not fail! ♥️ thank you to everyone for the support along the way! Still not over this," Mallory wrote while showing her gold medal.

Their dominance can be measured by the fact that no other team has won the event more than once, compared to USA's five triumphs.
