Peachtree City’s Kelley O’Hara to be honored by U.S. women’s national team

Peachtree City’s Kelley O’Hara will be honored at halftime of a U.S. women’s match Oct. 27 in Nashville, Tennessee.

O’Hara, a two-time World Cup champion, announced May 2 that she was retiring from playing at the end of the NWSL season. O’Hara, 36 years old, plays for Gotham.
