The USWNT prepares for the 2025 SheBelieves Cup featuring new and established players, honoring Emily Sonnett for reaching 100 caps. A versatile defender, Sonnett has played multiple positions, proving crucial to the team's success. Her journey to this milestone has been challenging; starting with a first overall pick in the 2016 NWSL Draft, she faced hurdles breaking into the national team. Sonnett reflects on her competitive environment and how it shaped her adaptability. Colleagues like Sophia Smith praise her contributions to the team, celebrating both her resilience and teamwork.
This is our girl. She's played every role for this team you could possibly think of, and we love her.
I sometimes joke, it's kind of like survival of the fittest...how can I accumulate all these positions?
I think the one thing I think about for my personal journey, it didn't come quickly.
I actually never thought I'd reach 100 caps. I've never been a true starter for this team.
