18 Numbers for the WNT in 2018

In a year that started with a training camp in Los Angeles followed by the first game of the schedule in San Diego and ended with a match in chilly Glasgow, Scotland, the U.S. Women’s National Team navigated 20 matches in 11 states and two countries to put together a year that will go down as one of the most successful in program history.

Not only did the team achieve its most important goal – qualifying for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup – but for the fourth time in its history in a year in which the team played 10 or more games, the U.S. Women finished it unbeaten.

In 2018, Carli Lloyd scored her 100th goal for the WNT.

The team won all three tournaments in which it played – the 2018 SheBelieves Cup, the 2018 Tournament of Nations and the 2018 Concacaf Women’s Championship – and the players achieved several individual milestones, which included one player reaching 100 caps, another scoringher 100th goal, and a third who got very close.

Most impressively, the team reached the 500th win in program history when it defeated Portugal, 1-0, on Nov. 8, an achievement that further cemented the WNT as one of the most successful and dominant teams in the history of sports.
