Sentnor and Biyendolo score 2 each and US women beat Jamaica 4-0
Sentnor scored in the 19th minute, then formed a heart with her hands in celebration. She scored her second off a deflection 10 minutes later.
The 21-year-old 2024 U.S. Soccer Young Player of the Year, who now has four international goals, credited her teammates.
"They're really easy to play with at moving the ball," Sentnor said. 'I'm still trying to work to get better for them.'
Biyendolo scored in the 60th minute, three minutes after coming into the game as a substitute. She added a second in the 88th minute off a cross from Avery Patterson. Biyendolo has 24 career goals.
Phallon Tullis-Joyce made her second consecutive in goal for the United States as coach Emma Hayes looks for a successor to longtime goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, who retired last year. It was her third straight clean sheet.
Jamaica, which has never beaten the U.S, started two sets of sisters — Allyson and Chantelle Swaby, and Kalyssa and Amelia Van Zanten.
The U.S. was coming off a 3-0 victory over China on Saturday in St. Paul, Minnesota. The national team was originally scheduled to play a pair of matches against China, but Chinese officials in April pulled out of the second game and Jamaica filled the spot.
Before the game, the United States honored Sauerbrunn, who retired from soccer late last year.
The St. Louis native, whose international career spanned 16 years, is a two-time Women's World Cup winner and an Olympic gold medalist. Fans, who received a bobblehead in her image, gave her a standing ovation and chanted her name in a pregame ceremony.
Sauerbrunn, who recently announced that she is expecting her first child with partner Zola Short, also served in her new role as a television commentator for the match.
The United States next plays a pair of matches against Ireland, the first on June 26 in Commerce City, Colorado, and the second on June 29 in Cincinnati. The U.S. will also play Canada on July 6 in Washington D.C.

Cycling-Vos surges to opening stage win in Tour de France Femmes
July 26 (Reuters) - Dutch rider Marianne Vos claimed a jaw-dropping 258th career victory when she prevailed in the first stage of the Tour de France Femmes, a 78.8-km hilly ride from Vannes to Plumelec on Saturday. HT Image The three-time road world champion, 38, prevailed at the top of the Cote de Cadoudal (1.7km at 6.2%) after her Visma-Lease a Bike teammate Pauline Ferrand Prevot cracked in the final metres to finish third behind Kim Le Court of Mauritius. While Ferrand Prevot could not convert, she showed impressive strength when she attacked 700 metres from the line, a move that underlined the mountain biking Olympic champion's title credentials. Vos, who will wear the yellow jersey in Sunday's second stage, surged past in the final 50 metres and raised her arm in celebration, just like Ferrand-Prevot. After a dozen riders were involved in a crash as the peloton rolled towards the start of the stage, Maud Rijnbeek and Laura Tomasi formed the day's breakaway. Rijnbeek went solo after 23 kilometres before Tomasi was swallowed by the peloton. Swiss rider Marlen Reusser was involved in another crash at the foot of the Cote de Cadoudal, a 1.7-km ascent at 6.2%. Reusser, who finished second in the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta, later abandoned with stomach problems, her Movistar team said. Defending champion Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney, who beat Demi Vollering by just four seconds last year, finished fourth in the same time as the winner. Vollering was fifth, three seconds behind.

‘Buying Chinese products is indirectly funding enemy'
Nagpur: The 26th Kargil Vijay Diwas was held by Bhonsala Military School on Saturday. Deputy Commandant of the Army's Uttar Maharashtra and Gujarat (UMANG) sub-area, Brigadier Abhijit Valimbe, was the chief guest. Member of RSS' all India executive body (publicity wing), Mukul Kanitkar, was the keynote speaker. Addressing a gathering of over 400 students, Kanitkar said Indians who buy Chinese mobile phones are actually indirectly funding the enemy to procure the weapons that they used to martyr Indian soldiers in Doklam. "At Doklam, the Chinese troops hit the unarmed Indian soldiers with sticks wrapped with barbed wire. When I saw those images, I thought that such sticks could easily be procured for Rs 300 to 500 by them. The money to buy the sticks that were used to take the lives of Indian soldiers went from Indians' pockets. Even today, those who use Chinese brands are indirectly funding the enemy," he said. The items from toothpaste with which the day begins to the mosquito repellent coils that are burnt in the night should be completely Indian. Not only the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) has to be taken back but even the areas like Tibet and Ladakh have to be freed from China. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Easy Trick to Protect Your Kids From Mosquitoes (They Can't Stand This) Squito Stickers Undo When the British left the country, international boundaries were drawn merely on paper, and Indians were forced to accept it," said Kanitkar. He criticised the Shimla Pact between India and Pakistan that followed the 1971 war, calling it to be a disgrace. "I went to deliver a lecture at the Institute of Advanced Studies, the place where the Shimla Pact was signed. The hosts insisted I visit the room where the agreement was signed but I refused." Kanitkar also expressed concern about people becoming ignorant about national heroes. He said once, he went to Prayagraj and wanted to see the place where freedom fighter Chandrashekar Azad laid down his life. The place is still popularly known as Company Garden rather than Chandrashekhar Azad Park, though it has been named after him.

China PM warns against a global AI 'monopoly'
China PM warns against a global AI 'monopoly' China will spearhead the creation of an international organisation to jointly develop AI, the country's premier said, seeking to ensure that the world-changing technology doesn't become the province of just a few nations or companies. Artificial intelligence harbours risks from widespread job losses to economic upheaval that require nations to work together to address, Premier Li Qiang told the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai on Saturday. That means more international exchanges, Beijing's No 2 official said during China's most important annual technology summit. Li didn't name any countries in his short address to kick off the event. But Chinese executives and officials have taken aim at Washington's efforts to curtail the Asian country's tech sector, including by slapping restrictions on the export of Nvidia chips crucial to AI development. On Saturday, Li acknowledged a shortage of semiconductors was a major bottleneck, but reaffirmed President Xi Jinping's call to establish policies to propel Beijing's ambitions. The govt will now help create a body - loosely translated as the World AI Cooperation Organization - through which countries can share insights and talent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Female Athletes Right Now Undo "Currently, key resources and capabilities are concentrated in a few countries and a few enterprises. If we engage in technological monopoly, controls and restrictions, AI will become an exclusive game for a small number of countries and enterprises," Li told hundreds of delegates huddled at the conference venue on the banks of Shanghai's iconic Huangpu river. China and the US are locked in a race to develop a technology with the potential to turbocharge economies and - over the long run - tip the balance of geopolitical power. This week, US President Donald Trump signed executive orders to loosen regulations and expand energy supplies for data centers - a call to arms to ensure companies like OpenAI and Google help safeguard America's lead in the post-ChatGPT era. At the same time, the breakout success of DeepSeek has inspired Chinese tech leaders and startups to accelerate research and roll out AI products. The weekend conference in Shanghai - gathering star founders, Beijing officials and deep-pocketed financiers by the thousands - is designed to catalyze that movement. The event, which has featured Elon Musk and Jack Ma in years past, was launched in 2018. This year's attendance may hit a record because it's taking place at a critical juncture in the global race to lead GenAI development. It's already drawn some notable figures: Nobel Prize laureate Geoffrey Hinton and former Google chief Eric Schmidt were among heavyweights who met Shanghai party boss Chen Jining Thursday, before they were due to speak at the event.
