Sophia Smith is part of the top-ranked U.S. team, which is seeking a record third consecutive World Cup trophy. She once idolized the stars of the U.S. women’s national team, now she’s one of them.
Goals have flowed, too: 28 in 40 matches across all NWSL competitions in 2022-23 and 11 goals in 17 national team appearances last year.
“When you give her time on the ball, bad things are going to happen,” said Spirit midfielder Ashley Sanchez, Smith’s World Cup teammate. Father Kenny was the University of Wyoming’s point guard for two years. Mother Mollie played in high school. Sister Savannah set more than a dozen records at the University of Northern Colorado, including career points. Twice she scored 40 in a game. In 2017-18, she led the Bears to their first Big Sky championship and NCAA tournament berth.
Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan and Crystal Dunn made the 2023 USWNT roster. The U.S. women's soccer team is attempting to win its third consecutive World Cup.
