The United States women’s national soccer team might have a rising star on its hands.
During a friendly match against South Korea on Tuesday night, 16-year-old midfielder Lily Yohannes scored her first goal in her debut with USWNT.
Per the team, Yohannes is the eighth-youngest player to make their USWNT debut and is the youngest athlete to play for the team since 2001. With her stellar goal, she’s the third-youngest player to ever score for the U.S. during a competition.
She made the first USWNT roster for new coach Emma Hayes last month.
That has to make you all at once very impressed and very excited for the future of the UWSNT with players like Yohannes coming into their own on the pitch at such a young age.
