Boston College's lone Olympian, Laura Georges, is still in the hunt for a medal in London.

The French women's soccer football* team scored their only goal in the fifth minute and held on to defeat Colombia 1-0 in the final preliminary round game of the 2012 Olympic women's tournament. With the win, France finishes second in Group G behind the United States and advances to the quarterfinals where they will face Group F winner Sweden.

Earlier in the tournament, Sweden defeated South Africa 4-1 in the opener and managed two draws against Japan (0-0) and Canada (2-2) to take Group F with five points. Sweden won the Group over Japan on goal differential, +3 to +1.

France-Sweden is a rematch of last year's World Cup third-place match, which Sweden won 2-1.

The good news is, should the French advance to the semifinals, they would avoid playing the U.S. until the medal round. France would face the winner of Group E runner up Brazil and Group F runner up Japan. Georges and the French team, participating in their first Olympic women's soccer tournament, are two wins away from medaling out in London.
