Consider the subscriber cover for this week’s Sports Illustrated issue. Pictured, left to right, are Women’s World Cup U.S. team stars Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Abby Wambach and Sydney Leroux. Per the Democrat & Chronicle, all four have a connection to a local Rochester team:

Wambach and Lloyd played for the Western New York Flash in 2013 and 2014. Morgan was on a championship Flash squad as a rookie in 2011 and Leroux was acquired by WNY earlier this spring in a trade for the rights to Wambach, who chose not to play on a pro team this season to focus on the World Cup in Canada.
