Olivia Moultrie wasn’t trying to save the future of women’s soccer in the U.S. as much as she was trying to jump-start her own career when she sued the NWSL for the right to play.
Nearly three years later, it looks as if she might have accomplished both.
Moultrie, 18, who next month will begin her fourth NWSL season with the Portland Thorns, is the youngest player on a U.S. national team that will open the 12-team CONCACAF W Gold Cup on Tuesday against the Dominican Republic at Dignity Health Sports Park.
