United States tries to find rhythm in 1-0 win against England

The great Olympic roster test continues with the She Believes tournament. Jill Ellis lined up a mostly-familiar starting XI against England whose only change from recent CONCACAF qualifying was the introduction of Emily Sonnett at center back. She also decided to continue testing Kelley O'Hara and Mallory Pugh in the defense and midfield respectively.

Starting XI: Hope Solo; Kelley O'Hara, Emily Sonnett, Becky Sauerbrunn, Meghan Klingenberg; Morgan Brian, Lindsey Horan, Tobin Heath, Carli Lloyd (c), Mallory Pugh; Alex Morgan

O'Hara's consecutive starts may not necessarily point at a starting XI spot for Rio.
