    Gisele - the younger sister of Alyssa - recently signed a first-team contract with Angel City in the NWSL, while Albert is on the rise as one of the most promising midfielders the USWNT has seen in years. The 21-year-old plays for PSG and has become a regular alongside established stars Grace Geyoro, Sakina Karchaoi and Marie-Antoinette Katoto in the XI. The ex-Notre Dame player was recently capped by the USWNT and even scored her first goal for the Parisian side. Now, she's looking ahead to earn a spot on the roster for the Paris games this summer.
