USWNT defeats Canada 3-1 in a choppy game

The United States Women’s National Team was able to recover from their Thursday struggles, defeating Canada 3-1 before a sold out Avaya Stadium in San Jose, California. The USWNT began their match with a familiar lineup, running out the same 4-3-3 that has become customary over the past few months. There were two changes, with Christen Press replacing Lynn Williams at forward, and with Taylor Smith coming in at right back, pushing Kelley O’Hara over to left bank in place of Casey Short. Otherwise, though, this was the same setup that we saw on Thursday for the first match between these countries.
