STARTING XI NOTES:
Phallon Tullis-Joyce, 29, earns her sixth cap and start for the USWNT. In her first camp back since last fall, this is Tullis-Joyce’s first tournament with the U.S. and her first SheBelieves Cup. She earns her second consecutive start in her first two international matches since Oct. 23, 2025, vs. Portugal.
Rose Lavelle, 30, earns her 118th cap and 98th start. Lavelle has the most caps of this Starting XI, ahead of Emily Sonnett (who has the next most) by three.
Emily Sonnett, 32, earns her 115th cap and 62nd start. Sonnett has competed in all 11 SheBelieves Cup and in doing so, holds the record for the individual with the most SheBelieves Cup tournament wins with seven (the same number as the U.S. program holds).
Emily Fox, 27, earns her 73rd cap and 62nd start. The Arsenal right back played 30 minutes in Sunday’s match and brought some experience off the bench to help earn the clean sheet for the U.S. before playing a full 90 on Wednesday vs. Canada.
Naomi Girma, 25, this is Girma’s 52nd cap and 50th start for the U.S. and she was the 70th player to earn 50 caps, doing so on Dec. 1 vs. Italy. This is Girma’s fifth time captaining the U.S.
Trinity Rodman, 23, earns her 52nd cap and 32nd start. Rodman earned her 50th cap on March 4 vs. Argentina in her short appearance before she took a hard hit from behind from an Argentinian defender in the final moments of the game. Rodman is the 22nd fastest player to hit 50 caps and the 71st to do so overall.
Sam Coffey, 27, earns her 44th cap and 31st start. She had scoring contributions in four straight camps for which she was called up to end 2025. In January, Coffey transferred from the Portland Thorns to Manchester City.
Alyssa Thompson, 21, earns her 29th cap and 16th start. Thompson was just named the London Football Awards Women’s Young Player of the Year.
Ally Sentnor, 22, earns her 18th cap and ninth start. This is her second SheBelieves Cup as she made her first start and scored her first goal to open the 2025 SheBelieves Cup vs. Colombia. She had a scoring contribution in all three games at last year’s tournament, providing an assist against Australia and scoring her second international goal against Japan, the lone U.S. goal of that night.
Lily Yohannes, 19, earns her 16th cap and eighth start. Yohannes is the lone teenager on the roster.
Avery Patterson, 23, earns her 10th cap and seventh start. Patterson was a late addition to the roster when Kate Wiesner left camp due to a mild calf injury suffered during NWSL pre-season training.
