FRISCO, Tex. — Rose Lavelle and Alex Morgan each scored and the United States beat rival Canada, 2-0, on Wednesday night in the championship match of the Concacaf World Cup qualifying tournament.
The U.S. improved to 16-0-2 so far in 2018. The team has gone undefeated in 26 straight matches (23-0-3) dating to last year.
