Claire Hutton scores first international goal as USA women sweep aside Canada
Just playing for the US national team was a big opportunity for Claire Hutton. Then Canada left her a bit too much space at the edge of the six-yard box – and Rose Lavelle found her with a perfect corner kick. The 19-year-old midfielder was ready. Hutton headed home her first international goal, and the Americans easily dispatched Canada 3-0 in a friendly Wednesday for their fifth straight victory. Sam Coffey and Yazmeen Ryan also scored. 'Set pieces are something we focus on. It's what we talk about,' Hutton said. 'At the international level, it's what sets teams apart, especially in big tournaments. So being able to get my head on Rose's perfect ball there was just amazing. Hoping for more in the future.' The Americans have won five straight friendlies by a combined score of 18-0 since their 2-1 loss to Brazil in early April. The 19-year-old Hutton was making her sixth appearance for the national team, and her goal in the 36th minute gave the US a 2-0 lead. 'It's just amazing. To wear this jersey, wear this badge, it weighs a lot. I know the history behind it,' said Hutton, who plays for the Kansas City Current. 'We talked about the US legacy this past week. Just knowing that I get to be a part of it, it means the world to me.' US coach Emma Hayes gave many of her Europe-based options a break for this stretch of three games in seven days, which also included two 4-0 wins over Ireland. That left opportunities for less experienced players like Hutton. 'As I've said many times, I'm all about improving the whole ecosystem. I think more opportunities for more players with the national team will improve the NWSL,' Hayes said. 'Because it gives players hope and belief that if they perform, that they're going to get an opportunity.' The US opened the scoring in the 17th minute when Lavelle delivered a free kick into the penalty area from near the left sideline. Canada's Janine Sonis tried to head clear, but the ball fell to Avery Patterson and then bounced to Coffey about nine yards from the goal. Both Coffey and Patterson stabbed at the ball, and both appeared to make contact with it. It went straight into the net. Coffey was credited with the goal and Patterson with an assist. 'I will give her full credit for that. I did not touch it at all,' Patterson said, not entirely believably. 'I laid it up for her on a platter.' Claudia Dickey, who also shut out Ireland in her international debut last Thursday, stopped a shot from in close by Canada's Jordyn Huitema shortly after Coffey's goal. But the Americans created far more chances. Canada coach Casey Stoney called her team's performance 'inexcusable' and said her players' fitness wasn't good enough. 'A lack of commitment and desire, which is not this team,' she said. 'Losing draws, losing 50-50s, not getting up to the ball, not pressing – it's not good enough. I'm not going to hide away from it.' Lavelle received a standing ovation when she was subbed out around the midway point of the second half. The crowd also gave a big cheer when Tara McKeown – who plays locally for the Washington Spirit – came on as a late sub for the US. McKeown assisted on Ryan's goal in the 89th minute.

USWNT revives set piece dominance with 3-0 win over continental rival Canada
The third and final match for the U.S. women's national team in its busy window, and arguably its toughest test against continental opponents Canada, ended with their third consecutive victory. The USWNT sealed a 3-0 victory at Audi Field in Washington, DC in front of a sold-out crowd Tuesday evening. Goals from midfielders Sam Coffey and Claire Hutton opened the scoring in the first half; both were results of set pieces delivered by the third midfielder in their lineup, Rose Lavelle. Second half substitutes Yazmeen Ryan and Tara McKeown combined in the second half to bring the U.S. up to three. Advertisement Coffey's 17th-minute goal was her third in the last five games for the U.S., and Hutton's, a head nod off a corner kick in the 36th minute, was her first for the U.S. senior team. Fifty-three minutes later, McKeown, who was very much at home in Audi field where she plays for the Washington Spirit, carried the ball confidently forward before releasing it to Ryan. After wresting herself from pressure near the top of the penalty box, Ryan unleashed a left-footed shot past Canadian goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan, the final blow to the Canadians, who are currently ranked eighth in the world. The U.S. victory caps off two 4-0 wins against the Republic of Ireland in Commerce City, Colorado, and Cincinnati, Ohio, last Thursday and Sunday, respectively. Across the three fixtures, the USWNT scored 11 goals and conceded none, all while head coach Emma Hayes has employed a heavy rotation of players throughout this international window. The team's starting XI for its second meeting with Ireland was a completely different lineup from the first. The lineup for Tuesday's match against Canada, however, was nearly identical to last Thursday's, except for 32-year-old striker Lynn Biyendolo, the most capped forward with 83 appearances, replacing 21-year-old Ally Sentnor. Advertisement The opening minutes of the match saw the U.S. on the front foot against a Canadian side that was organized and steely and under new head coach and former San Diego Wave manager, Casey Stoney. Goalkeeper Claudia Dickey, who earned her second start and second cap, made a critical save against her Seattle Reign teammate Jordyn Huitema to maintain a first-half shutout. As the game wore on and the U.S. tightened its grip, exploiting the flanks with slicing balls through and over the top to wingers Alyssa Thompson and Michelle Cooper, Canada began to crumble. The margins were exacerbated by the sticky D.C. heat; the game kicked off at 7:30 p.m., and temperatures were still in the mid-80s. The humidity made it feel like 90 degrees for the 19,215 in attendance. Hayes continued to make changes in the second half, bringing on Sentnor and forward Emma Sears for Lavelle and Cooper, and Ryan and Sam Meza for Biyendolo and Hutton, respectively. Meza, along with defender Lilly Reale, who started and played the whole game, are two of the three young players called in to this camp from the under-23 group, a move reflecting part of Hayes' larger project to develop both national teams. Advertisement Convincing win aside, the U.S.'s performance was not without its critiques. At halftime, Hutton pointed out on the TNT broadcast that the team looked 'a bit messy' at times, and that they needed to play quicker, smarter, and score more goals in the second. TNT sideline reporter Melissa Ortiz also relayed early in the second half that there were issues with the midfield rotation and that Reale needed to push up higher. The next set of USWNT matches for its window in October are yet to be announced, but the trio of victories have provided ample studying notes for Hayes as younger and less experienced players made their cases to be included in the core group Hayes wants to identify as they build toward the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.
