USWNT wins Concacaf Women's Championship with 2-0 victory over Canada

The United States defended the Concacaf Women's Championship, seeing off Canada 2-0 thanks to an early goal from Rose Lavelle and a late tally from Alex Morgan on Wednesday.

It's the eighth regional championship for the U.S., which like Canada already had clinched its place in the 2019 World Cup in France with a victory in the semifinal Sunday.

Lavelle put the U.S. ahead in the second minute and the goal was enough for the U.S. to see off its regional rival. Lindsey Horan put in a cross that a Canada defender knocked out of the box.
