The United States women’s national team will attempt to extend their winning streak against Ireland on Sunday in an international friendly. The Stars and Stripes delivered a dominating 4-0 win over the Girls in Green on Thursday and will have a final tuneup before their next match on July 2 against Canada.
Midfielder Rose Lavelle had a statement game in her return to the national team on Thursday. The veteran player had been away for nearly seven months after undergoing ankle surgery, and she recorded her 25th goal and assist in match one against Ireland. Head coach Emma Hayes and the coaching staff will likely monitor Lavelle’s minutes over the next matches. Following Thursday’s match, Hayes confirmed there would be significant changes to the lineup moving forward.
The summer window of games is a final opportunity for players in the expanded pool to leave a mark on the coaching staff in person with the national team. With some injuries to Ireland’s squad, look for players to show no mercy.
