The United States women's national team took its first step toward qualifying for the 2019 World Cup with a 6-0 win over Mexico on Thursday.
Megan Rapinoe had two goals and an assist while Alex Morgan added two more goals to help the Americans cruise to an opening win in the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship at Sahlen's Stadium in Cary, North Carolina.
This tournament both serves as the continental championship in the sport while also handing out up to four spots in next summer's World Cup, which makes this win a big first step for the United States' potential run to a title.
