SHEBELIEVES CUP RECAP
The U.S. Women’s National Team routed Iceland 5-0 to win the 2022 SheBelieves Cup, presented by Visa, with an all-around exemplary performance on a freezing cold night in Frisco, Texas.
Braces from forwards Catarina Macario and Mallory Pugh led the team to its third consecutive SheBelieves Cup title and fifth overall as Pugh became the 24th player in USWNT history to record 20 or more goals and 20 or more assists. Her goals were the 20th and 21st of her international career and she ended as the tournament’s leading scorer with three goals.
Here are just some of photos of highlights from the tournament!
BECKY SAUERBRUNN'S 200TH CAP
In the 72nd minute, defender Becky Sauerbrunn came into the match for Davidson to make her 200th USWNT appearance, making her just the 12th player in USWNT history to achieve that feat. The last USWNT player to reach 200 caps was Hope Solo, who did so during the 2016 Olympics. A two-time World Cup champion and 2012 Olympic gold medalist, Sauerbrunn has started in 169 of her 200 caps. At 36 years of age, she is the oldest player in USWNT history to reach 200 caps.
CATARINA MACARIO - 2022 VISA SHEBELIEVES CUP MVP
For her excellent performance throughout the tournament, Macario was named the 2022 Visa SheBelieves Cup MVP, becoming the youngest player to earn the honor. The four finalists for the award were Macario, U.S. forward Sophia Smith, Iceland midfielder Dagny Brynjarsdóttir and Czech Republic goalkeeper Barbora Votíková. Spain’s Alexia Putellas was 26 when she won the award in 2020, while USA’s Rose Lavelle was 25 when she won the award in 2021.
