Colorado’s Mallory Pugh and Lindsey Horan one step closer to 2019 Women’s World Cup

The Lady Yanks plays host to Trinidad’s Soca Warriors this evening in game three of the Concacaf ”Group A” Women’s Championship Tournament. By pummeling Panama 5-0 on Sunday, the senior U.S. National Women’s Team moved one step closer to clinching a berth in the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Tournament in France next summer.

The USA scored in the fifth minute on a set piece as a corner kick from Christen Press was headed home by Samantha Mewis. Carli Lloyd then scored two goals in the first half, before adding a third in the opening minutes of the second to complete her first hat-trick since 2016.
