“I want to thank U.S. Soccer for the opportunity and I sincerely appreciate the work that went into getting this change done,” Huerta said. “Now it’s about working to continue to improve and trying to earn my chance to get on the field.”
The former Santa Clara University star has scored 18 goals with nine assists in 60 career NWSL games, all for the Chicago Red Stars. She trained with the USA during the 2017 Tournament of Nations, but was not yet eligible to play for the U.S. Women’s National Team.
