Kelley O'Hara, USWNT Beat Colombia in 2022 International Friendly After Weather Delay

The United States women's national soccer team continued its successful run up to the Concacaf W Championship on Tuesday, defeating Colombia 2-0 in an international friendly at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah.

Tuesday's win was the USWNT's second in four days over Colombia, as it previously earned a 3-0 victory on Saturday.

The USWNT's latest match technically didn't end until the early morning hours of Wednesday on the east coast, as lightning in the area resulted in an hour-long delay.

When the delay struck in the 75th minute, the USWNT held a 1-0 lead thanks to an own goal by Colombian defender Manuela Vanegas, who inadvertently put a Sofia Huerta cross attempt behind her own goalkeeper.
