USWNT: SheBelieves Cup first round goes United States’ way
As it was in 2017, the United States Women’s National Team defeated Germany to open the SheBelieves Cup, starting off the competition right.
The USWNT had to kick off the SheBelieves Cup against Germany, but it proved to be nothing that the red, white and blue couldn’t handle, as Megan Repinoe’s 17th-minute goal proved to be the difference in an exciting 1-0 affair.
Alyssa Naeher got the shutout in net for her 13th career international clean sheet.
Head Coach Jill Ellis went with a similar starting XI that faced Denmark in January. Carli Lloyd was the only addition as she returned for her first start of 2018.
