SANDY, Utah β Carson Pickett made her debut with the U.S. women's national soccer team Tuesday night. She is the first player with a limb difference to play in a U.S. Women's National Team game. She was born without a left hand and forearm.
"Dream come true," Pickett tweeted about her first USWNT international appearance.
When she isn't playing for the national team, Pickett plays for the North Carolina Courage, based in Cary, NC.
