United States interim coach Twila Kilgore celebrated a "huge moment" from goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Canada in the Concacaf W Gold Cup semifinals at a waterlogged Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego on Wednesday.

"Just stepping up in a huge moment to face a penalty at the end of the game like that and have to turn around and face a penalty shootout. It's not easy to make three saves ... and contribute to the goal tally," Kilgore said.
