Maddie Musselman remembers the phone call that changed her world and her husband's words to her after his cancer diagnosis.The phone call struck Maddie Musselman at her very center, confirming the worst fear for the U.S. water polo star and her soon-to-be husband, Pat Woepse.
Musselman, one of three daughters for former major league pitcher Jeff Musselman and his wife, Karen, scored 12 goals when the U.S. won its second straight gold medal at the 2016 Olympics. She was the tournament MVP when the U.S. won again at the Tokyo Games, finishing with 18 goals. Woepse got Musselman's phone number from Hill after the wedding. He gave her a call, but she let it go to voicemail because she didn't recognize the number.“No, it's great,” Musselman interjected. “It's like my favorite.”It worked right from the start. They bonded over their shared Catholic faith — something they have leaned on even more amid Woepse's cancer diagnosis — and water polo. They started making plans.
Musselman, 25, took a couple of weeks off from training after they got the biopsy results, staying right beside Woepse as they figured out the next steps. They flew to Dana-Farber to consult with one of the doctors who discovered NUT carcinoma in the early 2000s.
