Ohai deserves opportunity with USWNT

While Carli Lloyd and Morgan Brian are set to represent the U.S. in this month's Olympic Qualifying in Texas, where does Kealia Ohai fit in the U.S. player pool?

Last Monday, U.S. head coach Jill Ellis announced the 20-player roster for February's CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying Championship. While FIFA Women's World Player of the Year Carli Lloyd and Morgan Brian will both represent the U.S. for Qualifying in Texas, their Houston Dash teammate Kealia Ohai's name was not among the selectees.

Neither were the names of Seattle Reign FC defender Lauren Barnes, her teammates Keelin Winters and Beverly Yanez, Washington Spirit midfielder Christine Nairn or even FC Kansas City midfielder Erika Tymrak.
