When the USWNT played in the SheBelieves Cup in February, there were new faces on the pitch- and it was a story of youngish gift getting twinkles. Saturday’s match against Brazil was a balanced canon of aged and newer, with players similar as Rodman back in the blend, and the midfield held down by captain Lindsey Heaps next to reigning U.S.
And in the process, Hayes earned her 16th palm as USWNT trainer, with just one loss in 19 games.
