Crowd cheers Christie Rampone at Jersey Shore University Medical Center's victory celebration
Dawn Steffens remembers the days when Christie Pearce was a shy, quiet girl, who let her presence on the soccer field do all the talking for her. That was nearly 20 years ago when Steffens — now Dawn Crawford — and Pearce —better known to the world as Christie Rampone — played for the Peninsula Aztec. "She was shy but she was always the one who pushed us," Crawford, of Hazlet, said as she waited in line to get a few moments with the most decorated soccer player in the United States. "When you're out on the field, she's a whole different person." Crawford and her children were among the more than 500 people who packed the Kurr Atrium at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune on Friday to cheer for Rampone at the Olympic victory …
