United States head coach Jill Ellis has named a 22-player roster for the USWNT’s upcoming pair of friendlies against Mexico, and the list includes three Washington Spirit players. The surprise, though, is which three players are included. Mallory Pugh and Andi Sullivan are included as one would expect, but defender Taylor Smith has been dropped. Ashley Hatch, meanwhile, has been called in for a second camp in a row after not being called in at all throughout 2017. Spirit midfielder Rose Lavelle is not available due to her ongoing recovery from a hamstring injury.
