Stars vs. balance: USWNT overcomes perpetual problem to lift SheBelieves Cup

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Another game United States-Canada matchup, another victorious penalty shootout for the Americans.

The USWNT defeated Canada in a shootout on Tuesday for the second time in 34 days, again after Canada equalized late in a match for a 2-2 draw. The win brought a seventh SheBelieves Cup title in nine editions of the tournament for the USWNT. While a trophy is nice, the most important aspect of the night was what did and did not work tactically as the Americans continue through this transition phase three months ahead of the Olympics.
