Much of New Canaan, and the nation, has been riveted by the U.S. Women’s National Team as it advances through the FIFA World Cup. For town resident Scott Heath, there’s an even more compelling reason to watch. His niece, Tobin Heath, is a forward on the National Team. She had the assist on the difference-making goal in the quarterfinal versus France on Friday. (New Canaanite)
