USA U20 falls to Mexico on penalties in CONCACAF championship

Starting XI: Amanda McGlynn, Kiara Pickett, Naomi Girma, Karina Rodriguez, Isabel Rodriguez, Savannah DeMelo, Jaelin Howell, Brianna Pinto, Civana Kuhlmann, Sophia Smith, Taryn Torres

The United States U-20 WNT took on Mexico on a grey, humid day in the final of the CONCACAF championship. Both teams were already qualified for the World Cup in France, making this a nice opportunity to showcase a competitive starting XI without as much pressure. Still, it’s never pressure free when the U-20 USA and Mexico sides clash, and pressure the US did.
