Carli Lloyd and Heather O'Reilly both delivered two-goal performances as the U.S. triumphed 7-2 over Costa Rica in a match delayed by inclement weather.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — After the deluge, it was just a lot more deluge. A very rainy night in this Tennessee River valley did nothing to stop the U.S. women’s national team from flooding poor, porous Costa Rica at Finley Stadium.
Overmatched, the youngsters from the CONCACAF opponent were nearly helpless all the way to the end of this 7-2 win. Not that the shower of goals got tiresome to the sellout crowd of 20,535 — or however many were left by the rainy end.
