The first of a pair of April friendlies against Russia gives the US Women's National Team a chance to bounce back from a disappointing SheBelieves Cup, and the Russians an opportunity to get prepped for this year's European Championship in the Netherlands.
With the NWSL season set to kick off shortly, the game is a chance for some of the league's stars to build some interest in their respective club campaigns. The list of US-based players in the squad includes Sky Blue FC's Kelley O'Hara. But attention is most likely to focus on Alex Morgan - currently playing for Olympique Lyonnais.
