W Soccer on the U-20 USWNT - oldalum - 05-31-2023

Current players Elise Evans and Jasmine Aikey are playing on the US U-20 national team in the 2023 Concacaf Women's U-20 championship. Also playing are at least two Stanford commits (that I know of): Onyeka Gamero and Gisele Thompson (younger sister of Alyssa Thompson who was a Stanford commit but turned pro).

The team won its group (beating Canada 5-2 in the process) and will play Costa Rica in the semifinals and presumably the winner of the Canada/Mexico semifinal in the championship match. Our semi vs. Costa Rica will be broadcast on FS2 Friday at 3 pm Pacific.

(unfortunately the team is also loaded with UNC and UCLA players and commits)

5 LSJU alums on the USWNT World Cup roster. 4th WC for Kelley O'Hara!  Angel City FC phenom striker and former Stanford commit, Alyssa Thompson, also on the roster.

And it could've been 7 LSJU alums on the roster. Superstar forward Macario is injured, and Tierna Davidson was not selected.

USA! USA!

I’m shocked Davidson was not selected. Is she still recovering from her injury?

Yes - I read that she was recovering from an ACL injury and was therefore, not available. Otherwise she would have been selected for the team.

Nice story about Sophia Smith, with quotes from Naomi Girma and Michael Wilson

From a couple online reports about the WC team and Davidson's form for her NWSL team:

Tierna Davidson: 
Unlike some others on this list, Davidson has returned from an ACL injury sustained in 2022 and is playing consistent minutes. But there have been some lapses and nervy moments during games by Davidson, and she was not selected to the roster despite previous experience in the 2019 World Cup and Tokyo Olympics.

*****
Davidson has not been able to find a groove this season in terms of confidence and timing, and that’s kept her from finding anything resembling her best form.

Great story!

Would-be Stanford star Alyssa Thompson ran 11.69 for 100m in high school and finaled at the state meet. 11.69 would've been second fastest for LSJU W T&F this season and would've missed the Pac12 100m finals by 1/100th of a second.
