HARRISON, N.J. : Lynn Williams and Kristie Mewis combined to give Gotham FC a 1-0 win over Washington Spirit 1-0 in the Challenge Cup on Wednesday and the duo hope to have made an impression on U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski as he prepares to name his Women's World Cup squad.
The four-times World Cup winners would have hoped to have a crystal clear picture of their squad with less than 100 days before the event kicks off but the loss of striker Mallory Swanson to injury has been a huge setback. "It's definitely pressure and definitely watching," said 29-year-old Williams, who notched her third goal in four National Women's Soccer League matches this year.
"Right now my focus is just doing what I need to do to help and that means being the best Lynn Williams I can possibly be," said Williams, who was the MVP for the U.S. top flight in 2016.The defending World Cup champions wrapped up their April camp with wins over Ireland in a pair of friendlies, with Mewis getting minutes off the bench while Williams did not feature.
