USWNT Blanks Costa Rica 6-0 to Win Concacaf Group A

The United States women's national team cruised to a shutout win in its third and final group stage match of the Concacaf Women's Olympic Qualifying Championship on Monday, defeating Costa Rica 6–0 in Houston.

The USWNT will face the runner-up of Group B, either Mexico or Canada, with a victory in the semifinal round clinching a spot in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

The U.S. got on the board early Monday when forward Christen Press scored the first goal of the match just four minutes in.

A goal by midfielder Lindsey Horan six minutes later doubled the Americans' lead to two.
