The United States took a while to get out of neutral with Switzerland last night, but eventually took them for a 4-0 ride. Here are five takeaways from the game to think about before the US plays Switzerland again this weekend.
1. Andi Sullivan has potential
Stanford’s Sullivan was the only college player to start for the night. Ashley Hatch from BYU subbed in late and Jane Campbell, also from Stanford, didn’t dress for the game. Sullivan started deep in the midfield and was the link between the defensive three-back and the rest of the team, a role she served pretty admirably in the first half with her solid one- and two-touch passing and field vision.
