Naeher shines for USWNT as Netherlands seek Yohannes cover

THE HAGUE -- Alyssa Naeher's final match for the United States women's national team ended in a 2-1 victory against the Netherlands in The Hague on Tuesday evening. The victory means Emma Hayes extends her unbeaten run as USWNT coach, as they handed Naeher a winning send-off on her 115th and final cap. Lynn Williams scored a 71st minute winner for the USWNT, but they had to work for their victory against the hosts.

The Dutch dominated the USWNT in the opening half, getting plenty of joy down the right wing, and opened the scoring after 15 minutes through a Veerle Buurman header.
