Megan Rapinoe, USWNT repeat as World Cup champs
LYON, France -- The rest of the world will have its turn. But not here. Not yet.
In a Women's World Cup marked by European success, the United States is the last team standing. Slow at the start for the first time, the U.S. women came to life in the second half to beat the Netherlands 2-0 on Sunday on second-half goals from Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle.
The fourth title overall for the United States also marks the first time it won back-to-back trophies.
Rapinoe won the Golden Boot as the tournament's top scorer and the Golden Ball as its top player. Alex Morgan won the Silver Boot.
