“The U.S. team, which is made up entirely of National Women’s Soccer League players, dominated the game, outshooting the DR, 20-2, while scoring two goals in the first half and three in the second.
“Seattle Reign FC forward Mia Fishel bagged the first two to complete her brace, opening the scoring in the 13th minute and added her second in first-half stoppage time to make it 2-0. Angel City FC forward Ally Sentnor, who captained the team, tallied in the 51st and San Diego Wave FC midfielder Gia Corley made it 4-0 in the 56th minute. Bay FC Forward Karlie Lema capped the scoring in the 83rd minute.
“On occasion, a U.S. U-23 WNT roster may feature several “overage” players, all born within a certain number of years before the age-eligible players, which this year are players born on or after Jan. 1, 2003, and this is the case for this roster. The USA’s overage players in this camp are Angel City FC goalkeeper Angelina Anderson [born in 2001], Corley [2002], Utah Royals FC forward Jameese Joseph [2002] and Fishel [2001].
“This match marked the first international action for Savy King – who played in the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup and the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup – since she suffered a cardiac event on May 9, 2025, that led to surgery to address a heart abnormality. She returned to the field for Angel City FC at the beginning of this NWSL season and played in four matches before suffering a foot injury that kept her off the field for four months. She has played nine NWSL matches since her return from that injury.”
