HOUSTON (AP) Lindsey Horan scored three goals and the U.S. national team downed Panama 8-0 on Friday night in the the group stage of the CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying tournament.
Panama goalkeeper Yenith Bailey got tangled up with one of her own players and Horan took advantage, scoring in the third minute to give the World Cup-winning Americans the early lead.
Moments later, Bailey knocked heads with Jessica McDonald and spent several moments on the ground. But ultimately Panama's captain stayed in the game.
Some two minutes after Lynn Williams' goal in the 16th minute, Horan scored her second of the game.
