Hayes praises Macario's 'pride' in USWNT return
Briefly

Catarina Macario made a triumphant return to the United States women's national team, scoring a goal in the recent 2-0 victory over Colombia during the SheBelieves Cup. Head coach Emma Hayes expressed pride in Macario's comeback after witnessing her struggles with injury. Macario's goal marked her first for the USWNT in almost three years, demonstrating her key presence in the team's offense. A second goal from Aly Sentnor contributed to the win, showcasing the team's depth and Hayes's satisfaction with the players' performances.
"The first time in the half that we attacked the box quickly, she was in the right place at the right time. I think she's got an instinct in and around the goal, which was demonstrated with the goal."
"I said I knew the minute [Sentnor] turns where that ball is going to end up because she does that shot consistently well. That is something she absolutely has in her locker."
