"She's stronger than me," said Andonovski."She said that all she wants is for the team to be successful and that she's going to be our biggest supporter." "The depth chart will probably change a little bit for unfortunate reasons," Andonovski told reporters. "I can say here, 'Oh, no, we're great.' No, she's a great player. You don't replace Mallory that easy. We all know that," said Andonovski.The United States called up Alyssa Thompson as Swanson's replacement after the 18-year-old made her senior national team debut in October.
