Royal Roundup: USWNT rout Uzbekistan 9-1

Sophia Smith became the youngest USWNT player to score a hat trick as they dominated Uzbekistan 9-1 in the first of two friendly matches. Well done to the Uzbek’s as it took nearly half an hour before their defense broke, but after that the flood gates opened with 7 different US players scoring. The visitor’s single goal ended a US home 2-year shutout streak at 1,632 minutes. The second match is 5 PM (MDT) on Tuesday April 12th in Chester PA (Philadelphia Union’s stadium).
