Yanks Abroad: A trio of goals in Australia

We’ve got a lot of regulars on Yanks Abroad who are sidelined with injury at the moment. But Sophia Huerta, Lynn Williams, and Haley Hanson gave us plenty to check out over in Australia. Tyler Adams was unable to make his anticipated return, Josh Sargent will be out until after Christmas, and several other big names are also still out with injury.

But let’s check in to see how everyone else fared last week.

Australia

Sophia Huerta

The 26-year-old Huerta scored for Sydney FC over the weekend.

Lynn Williams

Playing for Western Sydney, on loan from North Carolina Courage, Williams finished a well taken goal in a 1-1 draw with Melbourne.

Haley Hanson

The other goal in that draw was scored by another North Carolina Courage loanee, Haley Hanson.
