STANFORD, Calif. – Sophomore Tierna Davidson earned a call up to the United States Women's National Team, as announced Thursday by head coach Jill Ellis.
It is the second call up to the senior women's national team for Davidson after she trained with the side in Carson, California on January 13-23. Davidson, along with five other players, was invited to train with the team after a U-23 training camp in Carson on January 6-13 – the camp also included Jordan DiBiasi and former Cardinal Maddie Bauer.
