Victoria DiMartino is back at it, without so much as a hint of what she accomplished just a few months ago.

While playing for the US U17 Women’s National Team in the FIFA World Cup in November, DiMartino accrued five goals and won the Silver Boot Award for her performance.

In the process she became the first player in U.S. soccer history to score all five of her goals in five consecutive games.

But ask her about it now, and it’s as if it never happened.

“You’re only as good as your last game,” she said plainly. It’s a clean slate and we all start from scratch.

Her play did carry over to Tuesday, mind you, during the second day of the U20/U18 US Women’s National Team camp at the Arco Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California.

DiMartino showed off the skills that make her a prolific goal scorer for the Albertson Fury, and will suit her well next year when she attends Boston College where she’ll be rejoined by camp teammates Jillian Mastroianni and Kristen Mewis.

On Tuesday she played alongside Hayley Brock, Anna Sieloff, Elizabeth Eddy, Chelsea Cline, Alev Kelter-Perusse, Bailey Powell and Rachel Quon during a 7-on-7 tournament.

“I like it this year,” she said. "It’s a different atmosphere from the last two years when there were the same players and same coaches. It’s a different process this year and I think it’s exciting.”

DiMartino is one of the experienced players in the camp pool in terms of national experience, and her genes don’t hurt either.

She’s the four years younger sister of UCLA’s Christina DiMartino, the Pac-10 Player of the Year, MAC Hermann Trophy finalist (she won in 2006) and recent Women’s Professional Soccer League draft pick.
    
“I’m so proud of my sister,” Victoria said. “No one deserves it more than her and I know she’ll do well.”   

While Victoria hasn’t gotten a lot of hands on advice from her elder sister, she’s learned plenty just from watching and listening over the years - and it shows.

“Since we’re so far apart, we really didn’t play that much together - I think we played one game on the same team, and that was fun,” Victoria said. “We played some in the yard growing up. She mainly talks to me and gives me added experience. She lets me know what to expect at the highest levels of play.”
