After leading the U.S. senior team with seven assists in 13 games, Mallory Pugh, 18, was selected to the 2016 Olympic team in Brazil. Her selection makes her the second-youngest player in history to compete at the Games for the national team since 1904. The U.S will begin group play Aug. 3 — two days before the Opening Ceremony — against New Zealand at Mineirão Stadium in Belo Horizonte, some 270 miles north of Rio de Janeiro.
The U.S. Men’s Soccer team did not qualify to make it to the Olympics.
