HERRIMAN, Utah – Utah Royals FC and US Soccer announce that NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year finalist Mandy Haught and Rookie of the Year finalist Ally Sentnor have been called-up by United States Women’s National Team Head Coach Emma Hayes for the November FIFA International Window.

USA will head to Europe for matches against England on Nov. 30 at Wembley Stadium (12:20 p.m. ET / 5:20 p.m. local time on TNT, Max, Universo and Peacock) and against the Netherlands on Dec. 3 at ADO Den Haag Stadium (2:45 p.m. ET / 8:45 p.m. local time on TNT, truTV, Universo, Max and Peacock). England (2022) and the Netherlands (2017) are the two most recent champions of the UEFA Women’s Euros and reached the finals of the last two FIFA Women’s World Cups, with England falling to Spain in 2023 and the Netherlands losing to the USA in 2019.

Haught will report to Hayes for the second consecutive international window. In October, Haught was called-up midway through camp to replace injured Jane Campbell who suffered a muscle injury during training. Haught appeared in the final match for the USWNT during the camp that included three friendlies. Earning her first cap and start, Haught notched her first senior clean sheet against Argentina in a 3-0 victory.

In 24 matches and 24 starts with URFC, Haught logged a club-record 84 saves, the fourth best in the NWSL this season. Completing over 1000 passes in possession at an 80% pass accuracy rate, the GOTY nominee provided a sound last line of defense for the Royals, earning herself team MVP, an award voted on by URFC’s players.

Fresh off a bronze medal at the U-20 world cup last summer, Sentnor is making her first appearance at a senior team camp. The U-20 captain logged two goals during the World Cup in Columbia, one coming in Sentnor style, from well outside the box and earned the Bronze Ball, an award given to the third best individual during the tournament.

In 1800 minutes throughout 21 matches with the Royals, Sentnor led the squad in goal contributions with three goals and four assists, seven goals and five assists across all competitions in her rookie year. The Hanson, Mass. native burst onto the scene in just her second match with URFC scoring the game winner against North Carolina Courage in a 2-1 win during matchweek 2. Sentnor was voted as Offensive Player of the Year for her achievements in 2024.
