Notes:
MATCH HUB | FIVE THINGS TO KNOW
Claudia Dickey, 25, earns her second USWNT cap at the senior level. Dickey was the 29th goalkeeper in USWNT history to earn a cap when she played against Ireland on June 26 and the 10th goalkeeper in U.S. history to earn a shutout in her debut. The former college basketball player at UNC is having a fine season with Seattle Reign FC. Dickey was a goalkeeper on the U.S. team at the 2020 Concacaf Women’s U-20 Championship, which the USA proceeded to dominate, outscoring its opposition 44-1 en route to the title, but the FIFA U-20 WWC was cancelled that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She played four games in that tournament which were her four career U-20 caps.
Naomi Girma, 24, earns her fourth cap and makes her fourth start of 2025 after missing the USA’s first three events of the year. At 24, and playing in just her 48th international game, she is already a veteran leader and considered one of the top defenders in the world. This is her 46th career start, and she started all 18 matches she played in 2024. While she has worn the captain’s band in prior matches, this match will mark the third time she has been the U.S. captain from the start of the match.
Lynn Biyendolo, 32, is the oldest player on this roster and earns her 83rd cap. Against Ireland on June 29, she scored her 25th goal, which made her the 28th player in USWNT history to hit that mark.
Avery Patterson, 23, will earn her sixth cap and make her fourth start, after making her first appearance on April 5 vs. Brazil in Los Angeles when she came on at the end of the match. Patterson, who has three goals from the outside back position this year for the Houston Dash, has been in the USA’s Youth National Team program at the U-14, U-20 and U-23 levels.
Michelle Cooper, 22, earns her eighth cap and makes her fourth career start. She will be looking to add to her one career goal, scored against Australia in the 2025 SheBelieves Cup, but she did earn her first career assist on May 31 vs. China PR.
Emily Sonnett starts in the center of the defense to earn her 110th career cap. She will be making her 58th start today, meaning she has started 53% of her career caps.
Claire Hutton, 19, will earn her sixth cap and make her fifth start. She got starts against Australia at the 2025 SheBelieves Cup and against Brazil on April 8, a match in which she went the full 90 minutes, against Jamaica on June 3 and against Ireland on June 29. She earned her first career assist on June 29, setting up the USA’s fourth goal to Alyssa Thompson.
Rose Lavelle, 30, earns her third cap and makes her second start since Dec. 3, 2024, in the USA’s final game of last year, a 2-1 win over the Netherlands. The World Cup and Olympic champion will earn her 113th cap and will be looking for her 26th career goal. On June 26 vs. Ireland, she became the 25th player in U.S. history with a combined 50 career goals and assists and the 27th to hit 25 career goals.
Sam Coffey, 26, earns her 38th career cap and makes her 28th career start. She started 19 games in 2024 after just two combined starts in 2022 (her debut year) and 2023. She scored her third career goal on June 26 vs. Ireland on an excellent dribble and finish.
Alyssa Thompson, 20, will earn her 22nd cap. This will be just her 10th career start. She is on a two-game scoring streak after scoring the USA’s final goal in both 4-0 wins over Ireland.
Lilly Reale, 21, earns her second cap and makes her second start after making her debut on June 26 vs. Ireland. She attended the Futures Camp in January, the U-23 WNT training camp in LA in April and traveled with the U-23s to Germany during the last FIFA window, scoring the first goal in the USA’s 2-1 win over Germany in the first game. She also played for the U.S. U-23s in 2023 and has four U-23 caps and one goal. Reale was a starter for the USA at the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup and ended her U-20 international career with nine caps and one goal. She had four caps with the U.S. U-17s, but her U-17 cycle was basically cancelled by COVID-19.
