The United States women’s team (USWNT), features a strong roster featuring talented young players. These include Taryn Torres, Julie Moultrie, Jaedyn Shaw, Megan Rapinoe, and Megan Rapinoe. These players are able to help the USWNT make it to the quarterfinals. But their potential and experience are far less than those of their teammates.
Taryn Torres
Torres' recent selection to the U.S. Women's National Team represents a significant step in the right direction. The 18-year-old forward is a versatile player with an impressive shot and great work rate. She has participated in four Challenge Cup games and three league games. Gotham FC selected her 2021 draft pick. However, she chose to finish her college degree at the University of Virginia. She was awarded four All-ACC Honors in college. She also participated in the U-20 team that competed in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Torres will be coached by Jene Baclawski, a former technical director for the South Texas Youth Soccer Association. Baclawski also chairs the Visa SheBelieves Cup MVP Selection Committee.
Torres scored Torres's opener goal for U.S. Women's National Team vs Nicaragua last week. It was a significant goal for U.S. soccer. She also scored the second goal in the U.S. Women's win over Nicaragua by scoring the first goal.
Julie Moultrie
Olivia Moultrie was named to the US Women's Youth National Team roster. She will compete in the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, Costa Rica. Moultrie was the youngest player to score an NWSL goal last month. She's been a part of eight Thorns FC games during the 2022 season and has contributed two goals as well as two assists.
U-20 WYNT athletes have been a valuable asset for the U.S team. They won the last edition with an impressive 44-1 goal differential. They didn't concede till the championship, and Mia Fishel won The Golden Ball for Best Player of the Tournament. Three other players with international experience made the team. Brianna pinto and Talia del Peruta both scored at least three goals.
Jaedyn Shaw
Jaedyn Shaw has made an impact on the USWNT-U20 squad. She scored two goals during three matches while training in France. She is expected to make the U20 World Cup roster. She joined the San Diego Wave recently and will join Alex Morgan (and Abby Dahlkemper) as teammates. She will be working alongside Jill Ellis (ex-USWNT coach).
Jaedyn Shaw, a forward, has been named to the U-20 Women's National Team roster. The team also includes Shaw, a youth player from Washington Spirit in the National Women's Soccer League. Olivia Moultritrie, a professional midfielder, is also part of the team.
Megan Rapinoe
Megan Rapinoe (96 caps) is absent from the United States Women’s National Team squad because of an injury. The injury was sustained by the forward while she was training at U.S. Soccer National Training Center Carson in California. Rapinoe has since been home and will continue with her rehabilitation. The USWNT will take on France on February 8, while England takes on England on February 13.
Rapinoe became the face for USWNT and was instrumental to their recent success. She grew to be a volleyball player in Redding (California) with her twin sisters and older brother. She has scored big goals for the United States, including at the World Cup 2013. Her winning goal was in a 3-2 win against Nigeria.
