Boyds, MD (September 6, 2018) – Eight Washington Spirit players represented their respective national teams in international play during a highly successful September 2018 FIFA window.
Forward Mallory Pugh netted her 12th career goal and 13th assist for the senior U.S. Women’s National Team during a two-game sweep of Chile in a pair of late summer friendlies. Midfielder Rose Lavelle also started both matches for the USA as their high-powered attack outscored World Cup-bound Chile 7-0 over the two games.
Spirit forward/defender Mallory Eubanks, forward Ashley Hatch and midfielder Andi Sullivan helped lead the U.S. U-23 Women’s National Team to the 2018 Nordic Tournament title in Norway. With Sullivan captaining the team and Eubanks playing on the back line, the USA did not allow a single goal over the course of the three games, earning two wins and a draw. The USA opened the event with a 2-0 win over Sweden, followed by a 0-0 draw against England, before clinching the title with a 1-0 shutout of host Norway.
