Daily News | Tierna Davidson looked like her old self in her first USWNT game in 14 months
, Davidson was quietly outstanding on the field. Playing an hour as a preplanned substitute for Becky Sauerbrunn, she registered 55 touches, 42-of-46 passing, one tackle, two aerial duels won, one block, and six of what the box score called possessions won off an opponent.
