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 University. She has played 12 matches for the U.S. and won the Concacaf Championship last year. Before breaking her ankle against North Carolina Davidson played outside back at Stanford.
As a teenager Davidson received the coveted Young player of the Year award. Davidson also got the right every minute to play for the red and white and blue. Davidson was the first player to play in all ninety minutes of her five caps, unlike Julie Foudy. At the end of last season, she made a statement by playing in every minute of the SheBelieves Cup.
She was a Stanford University student.
Tierna D. Davidson was born on September 19, 1998, in Los Angeles. While she initially had aspirations of becoming an astronaut, she decided to pursue soccer instead. She started all 21 Stanford Cardinal games during her freshman season and was selected to the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team. She was named to 2017's Best XI team. Davidson is a Stanford legend.
After graduating with honors from Stanford University, Davidson now plans to play collegiate football for the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. Davidson wants to be a member of the U.S. national football team, despite being undeclared. She dreams of one day playing professional soccer. Davidson's upcoming game will take place in Paris, France, on June 14.
Becky Sauerbrunn named her the world's best defender.
Sauerbrunn's contribution to the team is more important than the individual accolades. She acts as a facilitator and gives her teammates the chance to shine. While she may not be flashy and her stats aren't impressive on the FIFA site, it doesn't make her less of an defender.
Two-time NWSL Defender of the Year, she has been awarded the award for "best defensive player," but she does not consider herself to be the best in the world. Her humble nature could be what makes her stand apart from the rest. She might be able to improve her game as a defensive player, and her thorough analysis of the game may explain why she has been named the best defense in the world.
