What does it mean to be named to the first-ever U-15 WNT? “It means that we get to set the tone. Many people have got the chance to represent the country, but no one has been able to at this young of an age. Even though we’re young, we will still represent the country in a good way, and because we’re USA, the expectation is for us to win the whole thing.”

What are you most excited for with Team USA? “Sharing the field, and getting to know this elite team as we work together to win the gold medal.”

What does it mean to you to represent the USA? “It’s a huge honor to wear those three letters across my chest knowing that we are responsible for representing our country and everything we stand for to the rest of the world, and most importantly the women who paved the way for us to be here as well as the young girls dreaming of walking in our shoes one day.”
