Oh, of course. I just figured BC meant USWNT players. Ali Riley is one of the world's best outside backs and has been for years. I honestly think she would have figured in the USWNT's plans if she hadn't started playing for New Zealand so young. Born in California, but with a Kiwi for a father, she starting playing for the NZ senior team while still at Stanford. When the USWNT started having its woes at outside back (ultimately converting O'Hara from forward for the last World Cup, and converting Dunn from forward for this one to join her), I bet Jill Ellis was frustrated that the best American natural outside back played for New Zealand!
