Meet Sophia Smith, the next Coloradoan to be reckoned with on the USWNT

Colorado’s girl’s youth soccer programs continue to punch out talent-laded prospects, many of whom occupy prized positions within the ranks of our U.S. women’s soccer teams.

Soccer fans here in Colorado, North America, and around the world are already familiar with Lindsey Horan and Mallory Pugh. They are about to get more than acquainted with the 5’5’’ football phenom, Sophia Olivia Smith.

Smith’s meteoric rise

Smith hails from Windsor, Colorado and she graduated from Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins in 2018. Her sister and father excelled as college basketball players; however, Smith prefers the freedom of running around the soccer field verse a compact basketball court.
