Fishel slotted home the game’s first goal in the 22nd minute. The goal proved to be the game winner in USA’s 3-0 win over Camaroon.  Hawaii Rush’s Sunshine Fontes scored the USA’s next two goals, therefore ensuring the win for USA.

Fishel is a member of San Diego Surf’s USSDA 2000/2001 team coached by Mark Spooner.

Spooner says of Mia, “Everyone in the club is so proud of what Mia has achieved. Her work ethic is amazing, and she always remains humble. She shows up to practice and continues to work hard. Watching the game today on the TV, I wasn’t surprised by the goal, but it was a bit surreal to see. She’s a super kid.”
