2/17/2022 2:44:00 PM | Women's Soccer
DURHAM – Former Duke women's soccer standout Natasha Anasi is set to compete for the Icelandic National Team in the upcoming SheBelieves Cup, presented by Visa.
Anasi and Iceland will play three matches in the four-team international tournament, beginning with a fixture against New Zealand on Thursday, Feb. 22 at 8 p.m. ET at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. The team will take the same field three days later on Sunday, Feb. 20 for a matchup against the Czech Republic at 6 p.m., before it heads to Frisco, Texas on Wednesday, Feb. 23 to face the U.S. Women's National Team at 9 p.m. at Toyota Stadium.
Iceland's first two matches can be streamed live on ESPN3, while the USA match on Feb. 23 will air on ESPN.
Now entering its seventh year since the inaugural tournament in 2016, the SheBelieves Cup honors the USWNT-created SheBelieves movement, an initiative to inspire women and girls in sport and beyond. Iceland is set to participate in the event for the first time.
Originally a native of Arlington, Texas, Anasi received Icelandic citizenship in 2019 and was selected to the national team in 2020. She currently plays for the Breiðablik club of the the Úrvalsdeild kvenna, the top-tier women's football league in Iceland. Anasi was a member of the U.S. National Team pool at the U-18 and U-23 levels.
During her four-year career in Durham, Anasi appeared in 97 matches – tied for the most in program history – with 83 starts. The defender was a two-time All-American and contributed to the Blue Devils recording 39 shutouts from 2010-13. As a sophomore in 2011, she was named a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy while starting all 27 matches for a Duke team that advanced to the national championship game. That fall also saw her earn ACC Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-America honors.
