USWNT lineup vs. Australia
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Coach Emma Hayes will trot out the same starting lineup – with the exception of Emily Sonnett for Tierna Davidson – as she has for the first two Games of the Olympics.
- Goalkeeper: Alyssa Naeher
- Defenders: Emily Fox, Naomi Girma, Emily Sonnett, Crystal Dunn
- Midfielders: Alex Coffey, Rose Lavelle, Lindsey Horan (captain)
- Forwards: Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson, Sophia Smith
Tierna Davidson injury for USWNT
The U.S. will have to navigate this one with center back Tierna Davidson, who will be out with a leg contusion she suffered in the previous game against Germany.
Davidson exited just before halftime and was replaced by Emily Sonnett. Her absence was noticeable, as she and Naomi Girma are the defensive forces in the middle in front of keeper Alyssa Naeher.
Alternate Emily Sams will replace her on the 18-person roster. Croix Bethune remains part of the matchday squad in place of Jaedyn Shaw, who has not been available all Games due to a leg injury.
Australia coming off wild victory
The Aussies posted six goals in a 6-5 victory over Zambia on Sunday. They trailed 5-2 at one point but scored four unanswered, including one in the 90th minute to escape with a win.
Since there are only 12 women’s teams in the tournament, two of the three third-place teams in their respective groups will advance to the quarterfinals. Given that, Australia will have plenty to play for and will do its best to manage the United States’ scoring to control the goal differential tiebreaker.
