Posted Jun 7, 2023
The preference of U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team forward Madeline Dahlien would be that you not call her by her given name. Maddie, Mads, MD, and Dahls will all work better for the 18-year-old from Edina, Minnesota. But whatever name you choose, it was surely not known in the world of international youth soccer prior to a few days ago. (US Soccer)
