The United States women's national team just keeps collecting hardware.

On Wednesday, the USWNT defeated Japan 3-1, winning the 2020 SheBelieves Cup with three victories in total by a combined score of 6-1.

Megan Rapinoe and Christen Press scored first-half goals for the USWNT, while Mana Iwabuchi made things interesting with a 58th-minute goal for Japan. But Lindsey Horan's goal in the 83rd minute put the contest out of reach.

Rapinoe's goal was a thing of beauty, as the superstar winger struck on a free kick in the seventh minute.

Nineteen minutes later, Press shocked Japan with a crafty turn on the edge of the box and an inch-perfect chip over the goalkeeper to double the Americans' lead.
