Last week, Laura Alleway did an interview with Australian radio station Box2Box, during which she spoke about her W-League club Melbourne City, the Matildas appearances at the Women’s World Cup and the Olympics, and her first season with the Orlando Pride.
Without a doubt, it has been a strong period of growth for the Australian Women’s National Team, also known as the Matildas. They made it to the Quarterfinals in the 2015 Women’s World Cup, going out 1-0 to Japan, who would go on to place the United States in the Final. They also made it to the Quarterfinals of this year’s Olympic tournament, losing on penalty shootouts to host team Brazil.
