  • WHAT JAEDYN SHAW SAID

    In a conversation with Morning Footy, Shaw spoke highly of suiting up for the four-time World Cup champions: "I knew that I really wanted to be on this team, and that I was going to do whatever I could off the field, on the field to get to this point. Once I just put the jersey on, it's almost like a superhero putting on their cape. It's a different feeling."
