With another 2-0 scoreline, the USA completed their La Manga campaign with a victory over Sweden. The US tops the tournament with 3 wins, 6 goals scored and 0 allowed.
Unlike the first two matches – where the goals came at the end of each half – both goals were scored in the second half, albeit in the last 10 minutes. Forward Ally Watt claimed both, with Mallory Pugh assisting. They were Watt’s first goals for the US in international competition.
As goalkeeper Samantha Leshnak got her first start for the team, playing the full 90 minutes, the USA finishes the tournament having given every player on the roster minutes on the field. 9 players played in all three matches; only Mallory Pugh and centerback Natalie Jacobs played all 270 minutes. With two goals and one assist, Pugh also leads the team on points.
