The USA’s Under-17 Women’s National Team completed their three matches in the Ten Nations U-19 Tournament at La Manga, Spain with a 2-0 defeat of the Netherlands’ U-19 WNT on Thursday. In the prior matches, the USA defeated France’s U-19 WNT 2-0 and tied England’s U-19 WNT, but lost on penalties, 4-3 (no extra time).
This La Manga tournament was a U-19 event, but the USA sent their U-17 WNT as that team is preparing for the upcoming CONCACAF Women’s Under-17 Championship (May 2 to May 12, in Guatemala), which is the confederation’s qualifying tournament for the Under-17 Women’s World Cup later this year.
All of the other teams in this friendly tournament were from UEFA, the European confederation. Most of those teams were gearing up for the second stage of qualification for this year’s UEFA Women’s U-19 Championship, which is held annually. In odd years, that Championship is also the qualifier for the U-20 Women’s World Cup.
Goal Scorers: The USA had only 3 “earned” goals as 2 of their 5 goals were own goals.
France Match: Andi Sullivan (assisted by Summer Green, 67th minute).
England Match: Morgan Andrews (assisted by Summer Green, 44th minute).
Netherlands Match: Amber Munerlyn (assist by Lauren Kaskie, 18th minute).
