JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Mandy Haught, a Sandalwood High School grad and goalkeeper for the Utah Royals in the NWSL, notched a career moment when she was called up to the U.S. Women’s National team.
It marks the first time Haught, a 2017 graduate of Sandalwood, has been called up to the national team. Haught (who was Mandy McGlynn before her 2022 marriage to husband, Tommy) replaces Jane Campbell in goal. Campbell suffered a muscle injury during training in Austin, Texas, according to USSoccer.com. Haught will meet the national team in Nashville, Tenn. as it prepares to face Iceland on Sunday at GEODIS Park (5:30 p.m.).

“It’s a huge honor to receive my first senior national team call up.” Haught told the Royals website in a release. “Representing the United States is a dream come true for me and I can’t wait to get started with Emma Hayes, the rest of the staff and the players. I’m really looking forward to this opportunity.”
Haught, 25, played on the USA FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Team and had 10 caps in her U-20 career. She was a draft pick of NJ/NY Gotham FC in 2020. She helped lead that club to the NWSL championship in 2023 and was dealt to the Utah Royals last December. Haught has played 23 matches with the Royals this season.
She’s having a monster season for the Royals. Haught has 78 saves and is just two away from tying the franchise record set by Nicole Barnhart in 2018-19.
