The Washington Spirit may be in Florida for preseason, but they have 11 players active in this international window. The USWNT called on four Spirit players in yesterday’s 5-0 win over New Zealand, while teams that called Washington players up won every game they played yesterday, outscoring their opponents 24-1.
Here’s how Sunday went for all eleven players:
Ashley Hatch
Hatch came in at halftime, and as is becoming customary now, she scored more or less immediately with the US, making it 4-0 in the 51st minute. In Hatch’s last three USWNT appearances, she scored 1st and 5th minute goals in two starts against Australia, and today’s goal took a whopping six minutes, as she headed home a cross from Sofia Huerta.
