In this June 26, 2015, file photo, United States’ Amy Rodriguez (8) controls the ball as China’s Li Dongna (6) defends during the first half of a quarterfinal match in the FIFA Women’s World Cup soccer tournament, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. There are just a handful of mothers who play professional soccer in the NWSL. But when the league asks players to travel to Utah and be sequestered for more than a month, moms’ voices are important.
