Life is good for Mallory Swanson, both on and off the pitch. This afternoon, the swashbuckling winger continued with her great form by scoring in her fifth goal in five consecutive games.

Her breakaway goal in Nashville’s amazing soccer specific stadium- GEODIS Park against a smothering Japan side was her 31st career goal as an international player with the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT).

The brilliant score brought nearly all 25,471 fans to their feet, when the ball found the back of the net in the second matchday of the 2023 SheBelieves Cup Tournament.

In the 45th minute of the tense dual, forward Alex Morgan smoothly brought down a ball inside the center circle.
