The athletic Solo had her breakout tournament at the 2005 Algarve
Cup, starting the final three matches while earning shutouts
against Finland, Denmark and Germany, and has started 32
of the 42 matches under Greg Ryan. Solo has started at
every age level in the National Teams programs, but this
will be her first world championship. The former
Washington Husky All-American has one of the
best kicking games in the world and can make
the spectacular save. She benefited greatly
from stints in the First Divisions of Sweden
in 2004 and France in 2005, and her
emergence has given the USA
perhaps the best goalkeeper corps
in the world. Solo picked up her 23rd
career shutout (and 21st over the past
three years) vs. Mexico on April 14 and
has now moved into second place on the
USA’s all-time wins and shutouts list for
goalkeepers. She needs just two more
caps to become the second-most capped
goalkeeper in U.S. history. FULL BIO |

Scurry was the USA’s starter in the last three Women’s World Cup tournaments and has 17 starts in Women’s World Cup play. Her splendid goalkeeping throughout the 1999 Women’s World Cup and her historic save in the
penalty kick shootout in the championship game against
China, one of the most iconic moments in women’s
sports history, helped the U.S. to the title. The
wonderfully athletic Scurry has been known
for her world class shot-stopping in critical
matches, and her play was crucial in helping
the USA win the Olympic gold medal in Greece
in 2004. The most capped goalkeeper in U.S.
history (and most likely world history) with
162 games, she has played in five world
championship tournaments for the USA.
Scurry got her 76th career shutout (by
far a record) against Brazil in the USA’s
last match on June 23. FULL BIO |

| Barnhart earned her first cap in goal for the USA at the 2005 Algarve Cup, shutting out France 1-0 in the opening game of the tournament, but she actually earned her first cap, amazingly, as a field player, when the USA ran out of substitutes against Mexico in Kansas City on Oct. 16, 2004, during the “Fan Celebration Tour.” Barnhart played the last four minutes plus stoppage time at forward next to Abby Wambach in the 1-0 win, and played well, actually getting more than a few touches on the ball and nearly assisted on a goal. The youth national team veteran was a member of the 2002, 2003 and 2004 U-21 Nordic Cup Teams, but has just three caps for the senior team. Tall, strong and quick, Barnhart was a member of the 2006 Residency Camp Roster, but injuries slowed her progress. She came into 2007 Residency Training Camp on trial and did very well to earn her spot on the 2007 Women’s World Cup Team. FULL BIO |
