BRASILIA, Brazil - The U.S. Women's National Team fell to Sweden 4-3 in a penalty shootout after drawing 1-1 through 120 minutes of U.S. dominated action at Mané Garrincha Stadium in the quarterfinal round of the 2016 Olympic Games.
Sweden was content to soak up U.S. pressure throughout the match and into extra time, dropping deep into its own half and looking for the counter-attack. The USA out-shot Sweden 27-6, but put just six shots on goal.
Seven former University of North Carolina players competed for the American side including Friday starters Allie Long, Meghan Klingenberg and Tobin Heath.
