After playing 30 minutes during the United States’s 3-0 win over Vietnam, questions arose about Rose Lavelle’s playing time in the second match of group stage play against Netherlands.
Would she be given the start? Would she perhaps come close to playing the full 90 minutes for the first time since returning from injury?
Those questions were answered on Wednesday when the United States Women’s National Team tied with Netherlands 1-1, marking their first game in their last 16 national appearances that they hadn't won.
Lavelle, the former Wisconsin Badgers star, played the entire second half, making a quick impact with a superb corner kick to Lindsey Horan that ended up being the leveling goal of the match in the 62nd minute.
