It’s official: San Diego Wave FC players Naomi Girma and Taylor Kornieck have officially been summoned by Vlatko Andonovski to play for the USWNT in their October friendlies. Girma and Kornieck have more than merited the call-ups as they have both been in stellar form for their club this season.
Kornieck, in particular, has three goals and three assists for San Diego this season. Not surprisingly, she’s also won the most aerial duels for the team (72%). Girma, on the other hand, has the most clearances for the Wave (92). She also has 51 interceptions, 32 tackles, and remarkably, has only been dribbled past twice in 1762 minutes of play.
