CHICAGO (Feb. 26, 2020) – Thorns FC goalkeeper Adrianna Franch along with midfielders Tobin Heath and Lindsey Horan were named to the U.S. Women’s National Team 23-player tournament roster for the 2020 SheBelieves Cup, which features the top-ranked Americans, No. 6 England, No. 10 Japan and No. 13 Spain. All four teams made the knockout rounds of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup last summer in France.
