Three Thorns named to U.S. Women’s National Team roster for September friendlies

It was announced today that three Portland Thorns players have been called up by the United States Women’s National Team for their upcoming friendlies during the September international window.

Sam Coffey, Becky Sauerbrunn, and Sophia Smith all got the call to join up with the USWNT for their two games in September against Nigeria. In addition, Thorns midfielder Crystal Dunn has also been called into the camp to train, as she continues her return to full fitness after giving birth to her son.

Sauerbrunn is a mainstay with the national team, and Smith is proving to be an electric attacking piece.
