After playing extensively at the under-17 and under-20 level, Swanson debuted for the USWNT in 2016 at age 17, becoming the team's youngest player since Heather O'Reilly in 2002. Later that year she represented the United States at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where she became the youngest Olympic goalscorer for the United States. She won the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup and gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics, scoring the only goal in the Olympic final.

Swanson elected to forego her college career at UCLA to turn professional in 2017, signing with the Washington Spirit, where she stayed for three seasons before playing at Sky Blue FC. She was then traded to the Chicago Red Stars, playing in the same city as her husband, Chicago Cubs baseball player Dansby Swanson.

Early life

edit

Born in Littleton, Colorado, to Karen and Horace Pugh, Swanson was raised with her older sister Brianna in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Her mother was a long-distance runner and her father ran track and played football.[4] Growing up, Swanson considered her older sister Brianna a role model and cites her as a reason she got started in soccer.[5] She started playing soccer at the age of four and then followed in her sister's footsteps and played club soccer with Real Colorado in the Elite Clubs National League.[5][6] She played on the competitive team with the club at the U-11 through U-18 levels; although she started playing recreational soccer at the U-5 level.[7] During her last two years with the team, she often trained with the club's Boys Development Academy team.[6] Swanson helped Real Colorado win state titles in 2010 and 2011. In addition, the team made it to the Elite Clubs National League finals in both 2013 and 2014.[7] At the U-16 level, Real Colorado won state and regional titles and became runner-up at nationals. Swanson was named the MVP of the regional tournament that year.[7]

As her parents, we know how she is. She's not hard on herself; she's just always looking to get better. We go to the games now and we're excited. Like, 'What is she going to do?' That's the fun part of it: What is she going to do?

Horace Pugh, father[8]

Swanson attended Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch from 2012 to 2016. In her three seasons with the team, Swanson scored 47 goals and recorded 23 assists. As a freshman, Swanson was named to the All-Colorado Team after leading her team to a state title. She was named offensive MVP at Mountain Vista and a NSCAA Youth All-American for 2013. During her sophomore year, despite missing more than half of her high school games due to national team commitments, she helped the team to the state semifinals. As a junior, Swanson scored 24 goals and 12 assists in 18 games and helped the team reach the state semifinals. She was subsequently named the 2014–15 Gatorade National Girls Soccer Player of the Year and Colorado Sports Hall of Fame 2015 High School Female Athlete of the Year. In addition, she was named NSCAA Youth Girls National Player of the Year for 2014 and 2015.[7]

In January 2016, it was reported that Swanson had turned down college in order to turn professional and play for National Women's Soccer League club Portland Thorns FC when she finished high school.[9] Later that week, her father said the reports were false and that Swanson would join the Bruins of the University of California, Los Angeles for the 2016 season as originally planned.[10] In July 2016, it was announced she delayed entrance to UCLA until January 2017, due to national team commitments for the Rio Olympics and the 2016 FIFA U–20 Women's World Cup.[11] She appeared in three non-competitive spring scrimmages in early 2017 before departing UCLA prior to starting her freshman season to pursue a professional career.[12]

Club career

Washington Spirit (2017–2019)

edit

After much speculation as to where she would go when she turned pro, Swanson officially joined the Washington Spirit of the NWSL on May 13, 2017.[13][14] She made her professional debut for the Spirit on May 20, 2017, versus FC Kansas City.[15] Swanson scored her first professional goal on June 3, 2017, against the Houston Dash. Swanson’s first career assist came on August 26, 2017, in a game against the Chicago Red Stars. Swanson recorded her first professional brace later in the season on September 30, 2017, against Seattle Reign FC, where she also became the first teenager in NWSL history to score multiple goals in a single regular-season match.[16] Swanson scored 6 goals in her rookie season and was named a finalist for NWSL Rookie of the Year.[17]

Swanson remained with the Spirit for the 2018 season. She sustained a PCL sprain in her right knee on May 27, forcing her to miss 8 games.[18] She returned to the pitch on August 5 against Seattle Reign FC.[19][20]

Sky Blue FC (2020)

edit

On January 16, 2020, at the 2020 NWSL College Draft, the Spirit traded Swanson to Sky Blue FC in exchange for four draft picks.[21] She made her Sky Blue debut on September 5, 2020, in an NWSL Fall Series match against her former club, the Washington Spirit, entering the game in the 61st minute. Sky Blue won 2–1, with Swanson assisting Margaret Purce on the match-winning goal in stoppage time.[22]

Chicago Red Stars (2021–present)

edit

In December 2020, Sky Blue traded Swanson and Sarah Woldmoe to the Chicago Red Stars in exchange for the fourth and eighth overall draft picks in the 2021 NWSL Draft, a conditional first round draft pick in the 2022 NWSL Draft, and an international roster spot for 2021–2022.[23] Swanson made her debut in the 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup, starting the team's game against Kansas City.[24] In 2021, Swanson was voted in second place for the most valuable player in the NWSL behind Jess Fishlock from OL Reign.[25]

On February 18, 2023, Swanson's husband Dansby Swanson noted that the NWSL would have facilitated a trade for Mallory Swanson to another team if the Chicago Cubs had not signed him to a contract.[26] After missing the majority of the 2023 NWSL season due to the knee injury she sustained while on international duty with the USWNT in April 2023, Swanson returned for the beginning of the 2024 NWSL season and started in the season opener against the Utah Royals on March 16, 2024.[27] Swanson scored her first goal since her injury later in the month on March 29, 2024, an equalizer to secure a 1–1 draw against the Orlando Pride.[28]

In 2013, Swanson attended a U–15 national team training camp from February 24 to March 2 at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California.[34] She then moved up to the U–17 national team and traveled to San José, Costa Rica for an international tournament in late April.[35] Following the tournament, Swanson joined the U–17 team for a training camp from June 9 to 16.[36] In preparation for the 2013 CONCACAF Women's U–17 Championship, Swanson attended another U–17 training camp from July 21 to 31 in Columbus, Ohio, as well as a camp in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, from September 15 to 22.[37][38]

With a third-place finish in the tournament, the United States did not qualify to the 2014 FIFA U–17 Women's World Cup.[41]

Swanson remained with the U–17 national team for a short time in 2014. She started off the year with the team at a training camp from January 11 to 19 in Carson, California. The camp served as a preparation for an international tournament held in February.[42] Swanson was on the roster for the tournament, which was held at the U.S. National Team Training Center in Carson.[43] In their final match of the tournament on February 9, the United States faced Japan. During the game, Swanson scored her fourth goal of the tournament to help the United States pull away the 2–1 victory and win the tournament title.[44]

U-20 WNT

edit

At the end of her time with the U–17 national team, Swanson was called up to the U–20 national team for a training camp from February 22 to March 2 that also featured a match against China.[45] Swanson was then on a 25–player roster for a U–20 training camp from April 13 to 20. In preparation for the 2014 FIFA U–20 Women's World Cup in August, the U–20 team also trained in May and July, with a trip to Europe in June.[46] After the team's final camp from July 9 to 23, Swanson was named to the roster for the 2014 FIFA U–20 Women's World Cup. At 16, she was the youngest member of the team.[47][48] Swanson played all 90 minutes of the team's first match of the tournament against Germany on August 5.[49] In the team's second group match against Brazil on August 8, Swanson suffered a right ankle injury in the 27th minute and was replaced by Taylor Racioppi.[50] Despite the injury, Swanson went on to start the remaining two matches of the tournament.[7] The United States team fell to Korea DPR on August 16, which halted their advancement in the tournament.[51]

Swanson started off 2015 at a U–20 national team training camp in Sanford, Florida, from January 24 to 31. The training camp featured a match against German club Bayern Munich.[52] Swanson started in that match; however, the U–20 team was defeated 4–0.[53] Following the training camp, Swanson was named to the 22–player roster for an invitational tournament in La Manga, Spain.[54] In the first match of the tournament, Swanson scored both goals of the game to help the United States defeat Norway.[55] Swanson wore the captain's armband during the team's second match against the Netherlands on March 7.[56] Swanson played all 90 minutes in the team's last match against Sweden on March 9.[57]

In November 2015, Swanson was named to the roster for the 2015 CONCACAF Women's U–20 Championship in December.[58] Swanson was the most experienced player on the roster and also captained the team.[7][59] In the first match against Mexico on December 4, Swanson scored on a penalty kick in the 20th minute.[60] The United States qualified for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup after defeating Honduras in the semifinal on December 11.[61] Swanson helped the team win the tournament with a 1–0 win over Canada on December 13.

After returning from the Olympics, Swanson joined the U-20 team at a training camp on September 1, 2016.[64] Swanson captained the U-20 United States team at the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup where she was the most experienced player on their team with 23 international matches and 17 goals.[65] In the second group stage game against New Zealand the United States won 3–1, Swanson scoring and receiving player of the match honors.[66]

2021

edit

Swanson began the year attending the annual January camp for the United States.[108] However, injury and inconsistent play meant she did not see the field for the United States until later that year, in a series of friendlies in September and October versus Paraguay and the South Korean national team.[109][110] Swanson's return to play was strong, notching three assists in the first game against Paraguay, the most for any United States player in one game since Alex Morgan in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[111]

Her goal against Uzbekistan on April 12 marked a four-match scoring streak, overtaking the record from 2021 previously held by Megan Rapinoe.[115] During the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship, Swanson played in her 75th national team cap for the United States, the 49th player to do so and the youngest since Heather O'Reilly in 2008.[116] She had 14 goal involvements, 7 goals and a team-high 7 assists – her career best.[117]

2023

edit
