×AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Forward Mallory Swanson was carted off the field during the first half of the United States' exhibition match Saturday against Ireland with an apparent left knee injury, a blow to the national team ahead of this summer's Women's World Cup. The game was the first of two matches between the United States and Ireland. The United States is the two-time defending World Cup champion. Swanson, 30, plays for the Chicago Red Stars in the National Women's Soccer League. Formerly known by her maiden name Pugh, Swanson married Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson in December.
