T&T women’s team midfielder Liana Hinds joined United States Women’s professional football club New England Mutiny.
Hinds was among eight players added to the club’s roster this week ahead of the season opener against New York AC on Saturday. The Mutiny is a pro club that campaigns in the Women’s Premier Soccer League Elite, the highest level of women’s football in the US.
Hinds joined defender Breanne Moreau, forward Brittany Moreau, midfielder Kristen McAdams, forward Elise Galipo, midfielder Julia Cipriano, midfielder Jessica Miller and midfielder Alexa Kenney as the new comers in the Mutiny which will compete in the newly-established Power 5 division this year.
Hinds is a student at the University of Connecticut (UCONN). She scored the game winner for T&T’s Under-17s in a 2-1 victory over Chile at the 2010 Fifa U-17 Women’s World Cup encounter at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Mucurapo.
She played 20 games for UCONN last year. She is pursuing a molecular and cell biology major at the University. Hinds was part of the T&T women’s senior team that just missed out on qualifying for the 2015 Women’s World Cup with a 1-0 defeat to Ecuador in December.
