World Cup Dreams for UO Alum Marlo Sweatman

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Soccer has taken Marlo Sweatman around the world. The 2017 UO alum first went from her native Virginia to Florida, and then Oregon, Sweden and the Netherlands.

Now Sweatman finds herself in Haiti with a chance to earn a trip to the 2019 Women's World Cup.

Sweatman, whose mother Beverly is from Jamaica, was recently called up to the Jamaican National Team and will be in uniform when the Jamaicans open the 2018 CONCACAF Caribbean Women's Qualifier today against Guadeloupe in Port-Au-Prince (1 p.m. PT).

Earlier this spring, UO associate head coach Manny Martins crossed paths with the Jamaican coaches at a youth tournament.
