MU sophomore midfielder Zoe Cross tore her ACL during Missouri soccer’s game on Sunday against Texas Christian, Cross announced in a tweet linking to a private Instagram post. Given that ACL injuries typically require surgery and several months of recovery, Cross is likely to be out for the rest of the season. The team declined to comment when asked about the severity of the injury. Cross’s injury, which wasn’t diagnosed when it occurred on Sunday, came during her first appearance for Missouri (1-3-1) this season. She missed the first four games of the year while representing England at the U-20 Women's World Cup in France. The Tigers compiled a record of 1-2-1 in her absence. She didn't see any action during the World Cup, but in her 47 minutes on the field for the Tigers on Sunday, she made an important defensive play in the 59th minute by heading a TCU shot off of the goal line to preserve a 0-0 scoreline.

Kevin Lytle Fort Collins Coloradoan Published 8:09 p.m. UTC Aug 9, 2018 Oh the poor defenders from Paraguay.

Check out the ridiculous video from the U.S. Soccer Youth National Team Twitter account. Smith went ahead and added a tidy finish for a second goal as the U.S. rolled to a 6-0 win. It was nearly a must-win game for the Americans after losing the first game of the group stage 1-0 to Japan and Thursday's game was the second of three in the group stage of the tournament being held in France. Smith is a fast-rising star in the U.S. National Team system. The youngest player on the U-17 team at 17 (her 18th birthday is Friday), Smith had … [Read more...] about Watch Fossil Ridge grad Sophia Smith score a ridiculous goal for the United States in U-20 World Cup
Two UCLA women’s soccer players added to US U-20 World Cup roster
Two Bruins from women’s soccer were called up to national teams this past week and will join a host of UCLA squad members and alumni to play internationally. UCLA rising sophomores forward Ashley Sanchez and midfielder Viviana Villacorta were named to the U.S. 2018 Under-20 Women’s World Cup 21-player roster. The tournament will be held in France this August, meaning the pair will potentially miss two regular season games. Sanchez has been featured once before for the U.S. U-20 World Cup squad. In 2016, she became the first player to compete at the U-17 and U-20 World Cups in the same year and was named the U.S. Soccer Young Female Athlete of the Year. She has recorded 11 goals in 33 caps at the U-20 level, making her one of the most-capped players on the squad. Villacorta will be experiencing her first World Cup, despite having 23 caps and 1 goal at the U-20 level. She played in 25 games for the Bruins last season and started in 15 of them, logging four assists and a … [Read more...] about Two UCLA women’s soccer players added to US U-20 World Cup roster
