The USWNT tested their squad depth, tactics and younger players after two friendlies against New Zealand, showing promise before the 2023 World Cup.
Rose Lavelle scored a pair of goals and an assist as the U.S. women's national team completed a two-match sweep of New Zealand on Saturday.
After a lack of urgency in the first half, the USWNT settled in, made rotations and cruised past New Zealand, showing squad depth and fitness.
The United States women's national team defeated New Zealand 4-0 in Wellington on Tuesday behind a Mallory Swanson brace.
Where's the creativity or tactical plan? The USWNT often relies on individual brilliance from players like Mal Pugh and Sophia Smith instead.
Spain's growing pains are understandable after a player revolt, but Japan should be further along with the World Cup around the corner.
