The home-and-home series between the U.S. and Canada wrapped up yesterday at Avaya Stadium in California. Once again Janine Beckie, Carli Lloyd and Nichelle Prince returned to action, with Beckie receiving the start for Canada, Prince entering the game as the first CanWNT substitute in the 31st minute and Lloyd subbing in for the USWNT in the 75th minute.
The USWNT took an early lead after Julie Ertz snuck in a low, skidding header past Canadian goalkeeper Stephanie Labbé off a Megan Rapinoe corner kick in the 11th minute.
