Five NC Courage players set to start Olympic qualifying tonight against Haiti

The North Carolina Courage are well represented as the USWNT faces off against Haiti tonight in their first match of the CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament. New head coach Vlatko Andonovski called up all four Courage players who won the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France last summer - Abby Dahlkemper, Jessica McDonald, Samantha Mewis, and Crystal Dunn - and also elevated forward Lynn Williams to the tight 20-player roster. The fact that Williams made the roster at the expense of four former World Cup winners is a huge deal for her and signifies that Andonovski is bringing his NWSL coaching experience to the table when making Senior National Team decisions.
