The United States women's national soccer team qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo courtesy of a 4-0 win over Mexico in the CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Championship semifinals Friday in Carson, California.

Sam Mewis led the way with two goals. Rose Lavelle and Christen Press added one apiece.

The USWNT got on the board with a fifth-minute goal by Lavelle, who unleashed a low left-footed strike that bounced in.

Julie Ertz and Megan Rapinoe deserve as much credit for setting up the goal, with Ertz causing a turnover in the Mexico half by heading an attempted clearance to Rapinoe.
