Where good news shines

Colorado rules the U.S. Women’s National Team roster.

Golden’s Lindsey Horan, Highlands Ranch’s Mallory Swanson and Windsor’s Sophia Smith were named to the USWNT roster for the SheBelieves Cup on Tuesday.

The Americans meet Japan in Atlanta on April 6 (TNT) and a to-be-named opponent in Columbus, Ohio, on April 9.

The USWNT then faces Korea at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on June 1. Tickets for the match in Commerce City are available through Ticketmaster and start at $149.
