Lilly Reale's quick emergence as Gotham FC star has her in the USWNT mix
Sometimes, when an impressive opening act at the professional level and strong performances at the U23 camp string together, a first United States women's national team call-up becomes inevitable. So Margueritte Aozasa knew it was 'on the horizon' for Lilly Reale, she told The Post. Everything had been trending in that direction. The UCLA coach spoke with friends who worked with the Gotham FC and former Bruins defender at the U23 sessions earlier this year, gathered plenty of positive reviews and then watched as Gotham coach Juan Carlos Amorós surprised Reale with the news in a team meeting earlier this week. Advertisement 4 Lilly Reale has impressed with Gotham, FC this season. Noah K. Murray-NY Post Reale, one of three Gotham players (defender Emily Sonnett, midfielder Rose Lavelle) named to the training camp roster ahead of three upcoming friendlies, has already carved out a role as Gotham's left back, starting 11 of their first 12 matches and blending her defensive roots with offensive potential. She logged a goal and an assist in her first seven matches. She made a seamless position switch after college, too. Advertisement And on a Gotham side filled with veterans, Reale has provided a jolt of youth to a lineup still searching for a rhythm as the NWSL season nears its five-week international break, with the USWNT chance just the latest tangible sign of her continued emergence. 'We're trying to help her in the adaptation,' Amorós said Friday ahead of their Saturday match against Bay FC at Sports Illustrated Stadium, 'but she's helping herself.' Reale's route to Gotham veered away from the traditional one for college players, with the NWSL abolishing its draft last August in the new CBA. Advertisement That, Aozasa said, is ideal for someone such as Reale, who 'should have the choice to go where she wants to go.' 4 Lilly Reale played collegiately at UCLA. Getty Images She trained with Gotham briefly last summer — something that's common around the league for college players during the offseason — and relied upon those experiences, as well as the chance to continue working with veterans such as Sonnett, when inking a deal in January that runs through 2027, Aozasa said. By the time the season started, though, she'd already made a position switch.

NCAA Photos via Getty Images When they won the national championship in 2022, Reale earned Most Outstanding Defensive Player at the College Cup. Then, as a senior, Reale helped them lead the country in goals against average and shutouts. But during that final season in 2024, Aozasa sensed that Reale was ready to attack more. She knew that Reale would never say she was bored, but sometimes Aozasa would think, 'Oh man, she wants to make it interesting. She's gonna go try to dribble 50 yards.' And most times, Aozasa added, 'she was successful, so couldn't really blame her.' 'I think the pro teams started to see some of her great attacking qualities,' Aozasa said, 'and that's why she's made the transition to outside back at Gotham and has done so well with it.' 4 Lilly Reale dribbles during the Gotham FC-Orlando Pride match on March 23, 2025. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Advertisement When Gotham faced Angel City FC on April 18, Aozasa brought the UCLA team, and from BMO Stadium she sensed that Reale's transition to the NWSL — and the new position — was already working. Reale was 'inviting pressure' against Angel City, and that, Aozasa said, doesn't happen without being comfortable. She used deception, and that requires comfort, too. The speed wasn't a roadblock. Physicality didn't prompt any obstacles, either. Then, eight days later, Reale flashed her ability to create. To streak up the left sideline. Advertisement To send an aggressive cross from just outside the 18-yard box that found the foot of Sarah Schupansky and then the back of the Washington Spirit's net. The offensive side of her skill set that couldn't always materialize at center back, but it became a necessary layer of her adjustment. And when all of that combined together, a national team call-up followed.

Travelers: Adam Scott Ties Career Low Despite Changes to PGA Tour Schedule
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Adam Scott had to recover quickly from an extraordinarily difficult final round of the U.S. Open. Like most of his peers, he didn't have much time to heal his physical and emotional wounds because he had to play in the Travelers Championship the following week. At TPC River Highlands, Scott seemed to still be affected by what he experienced at Oakmont. However, that concern was put to rest during the third round. The Australian tied his PGA Tour career-low record on Moving Day, shooting a 62. "It was all good today. The big difference was I putted nicely right out of the gate," he said. "Made one on 1, freed up a little bit there. So, I believe I'm playing this well, but you've got to make some putts at the end of the day to shoot a number, so that was the difference between the first two days and today." Adam Scott of Australia in action during the Pro-Am prior to the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 18, 2025 in Cromwell, Connecticut.

Getty Images/Andrew Redington However, Scott did not fail to take a subtle jab at the PGA Tour regarding its organization of the 2025 season schedule: "It was a big letdown on Sunday last week. I knew I was going to have to play this week." "I actually think now the last couple years, having these Signature Events after majors, not that I've been in contention at all the majors, but like having to change my habits a little bit." "For my whole career I pretty much took every week off after a major, and all of a sudden we're playing big events right on the back of it." The PGA Tour has been using the strategy of scheduling Signature Events the week after major championships. For example, the RBC Heritage was played after the Masters Tournament, the Memorial Tournament after the PGA Championship, and the Travelers Championship after the U.S. Open. He seems to like this place! Adam Scott matches his career-low of 62, which came most recently at the #TravelersChamp in 2023. — TravelersChamp (@TravelersChamp) June 21, 2025 The Open Championship is the only major that will not be followed by an elevated event. Top players will have three weeks to recover before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin with the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Adam Scott carded an eagle, seven birdies, and a bogey during the third round of the Travelers Championship, climbing more than 30 spots on the leaderboard. He improved his performance by 10 strokes compared to the previous rounds, in which he had carded consecutive 72s. He entered the final round of the US Open tied for second, but he was just another victim of Oakmont Country Club. He shot a final round 79, with one birdie, eight bogeys, and one double bogey, to finish in a tie for 12th place. More Golf: Justin Thomas Joins Scottie Scheffler atop Travelers Championship

LPGA Winner in Spotlight After Absurd Tick Bites From Erin Hills
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. While most players at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship are battling the Texas heat, slow play, and a demanding Fields Ranch East layout, Leona Maguire is dealing with something far more bizarre—tick bites! Nearly three weeks ago, the 2-time LPGA winner got bitten by ticks at Erin Hills during the US Women's Open, which are still haunting her game.

FRISCO, TEXAS - JUNE 18: Leona Maguire of Ireland looks on prior to the KPMG Women's PGA Championship 2025 at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco on June 18, 2025 in Frisco, Texas. (Photo by) More Getty Images One particularly nasty blood blister on her right hand, which she described as looking "like a pepperoni," continues to flare up as she grinds through the third major of the season. Currently, she sits tied for 16th at +2 after two rounds, having opened with an even-par 72 and followed it with a 74 on Friday. She trails leader Atthaya Thitikul by eight shots, but was giving the Thai star a solid chase early on. According to Golfweek's Beth Ann Nichols, Maguire's twin sister, Lisa, dressed the wound twice during Thursday's opening round. Leona Maguire suffered from tick bites at Erin Hills and now the meds she's been on have wreaked havoc on her skin. Sister Lisa had to tend to this blood blister twice during Round 1 of the KPMG. — Beth Ann Nichols (@GolfweekNichols) June 19, 2025 The issue isn't new. Maguire wore pants last week at the Meijer LPGA Classic to protect her legs, but couldn't bring herself to do it again in the sweltering Texas heat. "It's made my skin like tissue paper," she said, referencing the side effects of doxycycline, an antibiotic she took to prevent Lyme disease after the bites. The medication has left her skin hypersensitive and blister-prone, forcing her to wear sun sleeves, something she typically avoids. If this was not enough, the heat in Texas is making it worse. Temperatures at Fields Ranch East in Frisco, Texas, have hovered in the mid-90s Fahrenheit (35°C), with high humidity and little breeze. "It's hot. I'm still cooling down right now," said Nelly Korda after her round. "Everyone in the group is kind of going through it. Just have to be ready when you hit".

But with her skin still raw and the Texas sun unrelenting, her resilience is being tested in more ways than one.
