Ashley Hatch: ‘We want the USWNT to be overwhelming for the other team’

The Washington Spirit forward on a new era for the US as well as her team's NWSL triumph after the league was soaked in scandal

Ashley Hatch came on as a sub during USA's SheBelieves Cup match against New Zealand last month. Just six minutes later, she found the back of the net. It was her third goal in three appearances and, strikingly, it was the longest she had taken to score.

The other two goals, both in games against Australia, came in the first and fourth minutes. Hatch says she is always keen to make an impact as quickly as possible.
