U.S. soccer's Abby Wambach: "Cartwheels for everyone"
(CBS/AP) U.S. soccer player Abby Wambach was in a gymnast state of mind on Friday.
Wambach has scored in every match to lead the Americans into the semifinals.
The 32-year-old striker slid onto a pass in the 27th minute Friday to knock home her fourth goal of the tournament and then celebrated with a cartwheel in the United States' 2-0 win over New Zealand in the quarterfinals of the Olympic tournament.

Whatever Wambach's "thing" was, it worked. She helped the women's U.S. soccer team advance to Monday night's semifinal against Canada.
Midfielder Carli Lloyd said the team was "just having some fun with it, just trying to get the crowd going and do something special."
