This article provides an overview of the soccer career of Tierna Davidson.
Davidson is a defensive defender
Tierna, a 19 year old, is a Stanford defender who has been with Stanford University since 2012. Tierna was a defensive middlefielder for the U.S. Women's National Team. She graduated from Stanford and played in college for Stanford University and Cardinal. She has started twelve matches for the U.S., including a Concacaf Championship title last year. Before breaking her ankle against North Carolina, Davidson played outside back for Stanford.
As a teenager, Davidson was awarded the Young Player of Year award. She also had the right to play every second for the red, blue, and white. Davidson was also the only player since Julie Foudy who played in all 90 minutes in her first five caps. SheBelieves Cup: Davidson made a statement last season by playing every minute of it.
She was a Stanford University student.
Tierna Davidson was conceived in Los Angeles, California, on September 19, 1998. Although she had initially hoped to become an astronaut, she chose soccer. In her first season, she played in all 21 Stanford Cardinal games and was named to Pac-12 All-Freshman Team. In 2017, she was named to the Best XI team. Davidson is a Stanford alumnus.
After graduating at Stanford University, Davidson plans to play collegiate soccer with the U.S. national women's soccer team. Despite being undeclared, Davidson has her sights set on playing for the U.S. national team. She hopes to one day play professional soccer but has ambitious goals. Davidson's upcoming Paris game will take place on June 14th, in Paris.
Becky Sauerbrunn voted her the best defender in all of Europe
Sauerbrunn's contribution to the team is more important than the individual accolades. She serves as a facilitator for her team and lets them shine. She's not the most flashy player, and her stats may not jump out at you from the FIFA site. But that doesn’t make her any less of an effective defender.
Although the NWSL defender-of-the-year has won the award for best defending player, she doesn’t consider that she is the world’s best. It may be her humble nature that makes her stand out amongst the world's best. This attitude could help her improve as an opponent's defender. And her detailed analysis of the game could be what has made her the best defender in all of the world.
