The USWNT secured a statement victory taking all three points in a solid victory over reigning She Believes Cup Champions England. The match was a highly anticipated showdown as the two sides had a solid record coming into the match. Julie Ertz would also record her 100th cap during the night’s game. A bitter rivalry seemed to be forming between the two teams after England’s defeat in the World Cup last year being knocked out by the US. However, Christen Press’s wonder goal would play a huge role in tipping the odds in the US squad’s favor. Carli Lloyd would cap off the night for the USWNT with a second goal later into the second half. The anticipation towards the next match in the tournament has continued to build after tonight’s results. Time will tell as to how prepared the women are for this tournament run.
