Just four years ago, Rose Lavelle earned her first U.S. women's national team cap at the SheBelieves Cup. On Thursday night, she scored the match-winner in the 79th minute to break a deadlock between the U.S. and Canada in the SheBelieves Cup opener.
The United States had controlled the game from the start, outshooting Canada 3-1 in the first 20 minutes, but neither side registered a shot on target during that time and the game remained scoreless through the first half.
USWNT coach Vlatko Andonovski didn't make any changes until the 62nd minute, electing to sub off starters Megan Rapinoe, Carli Lloyd and Catarina Macario for Lavelle, Christen Press and Alex Morgan.
