Q&A: Emily Sonnett

Stumptown Footy caught up with Thorns defender Emily Sonnett ahead of the USWNT game against Denmark to chat about her experience in the W-League. Sonnett has been playing for Sydney FC in the NWSL offseason, who are second in the W-League ladder going into the final stretch of the season—after losing their first three games—and look good to make the playoffs. When she hasn’t been away for USWNT camps, Sonnett has been ever-present for Sydney, playing a big role defensively in a team that has let in the third-least number of goals in the league and are on a seven-game unbeaten streak.
