USA U21 shut out Great Britain

The Americans had a better start to the game as Zara Tedesco was at the end of a nice combination in the 5th minute. The Brits fought bravely, not allowing the USA to extend their lead for almost 30 minutes. The Americans added their second strike just before the end of the second period, Ruby Caviston tapped the ball into an open net. Great Britain didn't give up, but they weren't able to score themselves, conceding two in the dying minutes. Thus USA U21 beat Great Britain 4-0.
