It’s the first call into USWNT camp for Zerboni, who has played professionally since 2009, following a college career at UCLA. She was named to the 2017 Best XI this year, her fifth season in the league. She scored three goals and added an assist, starting 23 games for the Courage.

If Zerboni plays in the game, it could be alongside her Courage (and Best XI) midfield teammate [**Sam Mewis**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/4tcmt910n2lj88n5m0aqoddcl), who has started every USWNT game this year. Zerboni has played three WPS seasons, one WPSL Elite season and five NWSL seasons. Zerboni played for youth U.S. national teams, but this is her first senior call up.
