47: Kristie Mewis

Kristie Mewis has been one of the success stories of 2020. The fact she recently returned to the USA national team for the first time in six years says it all about just how good her year has been that she’s managed to force her way back into contention for the best national team in the world. As Houston Dash won the NWSL Challenge Cup, Mewis hit the back of the net once but was undoubtedly one of her team’s key players, creating chances at will, continuing that good form into the Fall Series where she scored twice and earned five assists, superb figures in such a short competition. Mewis has been a top performer for the Dash all year in a shorter season but absolutely earned her recall to the national team and Vlatko Andonovski will no doubt be keeping her in mind for future camps if her performances continue to be of the highest quality.
