Related Topics: Alex Morgan, Ashley Hatch

After hanging four goals on New Zealand in the second half of their first match in the double friendly series, the USWNT once again won in dominant fashion on Saturday afternoon or Friday night depending on your location as a viewer. The team scored early and often and came away with a 5-0 win thanks to a brace from Rose Lavelle and goals from Ashley Hatch, Mal Swanson, and Taylor Kornieck.

The USA lined up with Alex Morgan as a late scratch replaced by Ashley Hatch due to lower leg tightness. Aside from that the roster was much different from the first match.
