Women's soccer squad and Basking Ridge native topple France before opening ceremony.

The 2012 Olympics in London may not have had their official opening ceremony yet, but that doesn't mean they haven't started.
And for Basking Ridge native Tobin Heath and the United States women's soccer team, it started on a high note.
Heath played at midfield for the U.S. and drew a foul as the team came back from a two-goal deficit to defeat France 4-2 on Tuesday. The win gives the squad three points to open Group G play.
