Team USA’s Moultrie Shone in Stunning 5-0 Victory
Ready to witness soccer magic unfold? How about the kickoff with Moultrie magic? In a dream debut, 18-year-old Olivia Moultrie led the charge as Team USA stormed to a commanding 5-0 win over the Dominican Republic in their first match of the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup.
Moultrie, in her first national team start, netted twice. Her debut goal, a sleek tap-in just seven minutes into the game, set the tone for a night of high-flying action.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!
The USA’s goal fest was a team effort through and through. Lynn Williams doubled the lead at the 30-minute mark, thanks to a brilliant assist from Midge Purce, showing what makes this squad tick.
Purce wasn’t done there; she also set up Moultrie for her second strike of the night, putting the game firmly out of the Dominican Republic’s reach. The team’s synergy was off the charts, with every pass and move seeming to be right out of a playbook.
Late Game Fireworks: Nighswonger and Morgan Sealed the Deal
The goals kept coming, with Jenna Nighswonger netting her first for the USA from the penalty spot, making it 4-0. Then, in a storybook moment, Alex Morgan, stepping in as a second-half sub, converted a penalty in stoppage time.
Morgan, wearing No. 7 instead of her usual No. 13, honored teammate Mia Fishel with her goal, bringing the scoreline to a resounding 5-0. It was a display of skill, spirit, and solidarity from start to finish.
Under the interim guidance of Twila Kilgore, Team USA has notched up their sixth win, signaling a promising start to their CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup campaign. With eyes set on redemption after a challenging Women’s World Cup, the team is showing no signs of slowing down.
As Emma Hayes prepares to take the helm, the squad’s victory over the Dominican Republic sends a clear message: Team USA is back, hungry for success and ready to reclaim their spot at the top of the world’s soccer elite.
