The U.S. started the year playing in the SheBelieves Cup, with Hayes bringing a mix of new faces and familiar veterans to compete for a six-peat. But despite beating Colombia and Australia, the U.S. lost to Japan 2-1 in the finale to lose the tournament.
Hayes did not have several stars on the SheBelieves roster, however, such as Naomi Girma, Sophia Smith, Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson and more.
