On a team with a teenage superstar, two-time World Cup winner, scoring champion and two-time goalkeeper of the year, Ashley Sanchez is a ringleader.
And when the defending NWSL champions open the regular season Sunday at Audi Field against Seattle’s OL Reign, Sanchez will begin what she and colleagues believe will be a breakout campaign.“None?” Sullivan said. “I can’t believe that. She’s involved in everything.”
Leading to the opener, she is on a promising path. Over a two-week stretch ending April 17, Sanchez scored in four consecutive matches: two with the Spirit in the preseason Challenge Cup and two with the national team in lightweight friendlies against Uzbekistan.At the three-game SheBelieves Cup in February, she earned her first U.S. start and also had a two-assist performance against Iceland.Productivity was “a big conversation at the end of last year,” Ward said.
The Spirit will enter the NWSL’s 10th season on an 18-game unbeaten streak in competitive matches since August. Washington’s success led, in great part, to seven players being invited to national team camps, and in the second half of the most recent friendly, six were in the game at the same time.Sanchez made her U.S. debut in November against Australia and was recalled for five matches in February and March.
Sullivan, a national team regular at defensive midfield, said she was curious how Sanchez would handle the attention to detail at a U.S. camp “because she is such a free-spirited player.”
