With Amanda Longan and Ashleigh Johnson as goalkeepers, Team USA can boast its very own dynamic duo. Amanda jumped on to the national team’s radar after being named Top Goalkeeper at the 2015 Junior World Championships and assisting Team USA to the gold medals. From there, she enjoyed a stellar career at USC, becoming a first team All American, an NCAA D1 champion in 2016 and 2018, and accumulating countless more accolades.
Upon joining the US team, she continued gathering honors, culminating in a gold medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, a tournament in which she tallied four saves as the back-up goalie. In 2022, she recorded 22 saves as backup at the FINA World League Super Final and, in 2023, was named Best Goalkeeper at the World Aquatics World Cup following more than 29 saves. With one Olympic gold and four world championships golds (2017, 2019, 2022, 2024) in her cupboard, so far, she may have to make room for one more.
