Carson Pickett started for the United States women’s national team in their 2-0 win over Colombia on Tuesday, becoming the first player with a limb difference to appear for the country.
The left-back made her 100th NWSL appearance earlier this month and featured in the division’s Best XI for June. The Americans went ahead on an own goal from Colombia’s Manuela Vanegas off a cross from US right-back Sofia Huerta. It was the fifth own goal from a US opponent this year. Kelley O’Hara scored her third international goal and first since 2016.
