Catarina Macario Scores in USWNT's SheBelieves Cup Opener After Three-Year Goal Drought

The U.S. women's national team defeated Colombia 2-0, with standout performances from Macario, Ally Sentnor, and rising talents under coach Emma Hayes' experimental lineup.

Catarina Macario marked her return to international scoring after three years, netting the opening goal in the USWNT's 2-0 victory over Colombia at the SheBelieves Cup.
Macario's goal came in the 33rd minute, finishing a precise setup by 17-year-old Lily Yohannes and Yazmeen Ryan, showcasing her sharp instincts in the box.
Ally Sentnor, in her first international start, scored a stunning long-range goal in the 60th minute, her first for the senior national team at just 21 years old.
Coach Emma Hayes is using the SheBelieves Cup to test younger players and deepen the player pool, with Yohannes, Sentnor, and others making strong impressions.
The USWNT will face Australia and Japan in their next matches, with Hayes expected to rotate the squad to evaluate more players in this developmental phase.
