[YOUTH] The U.S. under-20 women's national team opened play at the Four Nations Tournament in La Serena, Chile, with a 1-0 victory over England on a goal from midfielder Teresa Noyola.

The U.S. U-20s are preparing for CONCACAF qualifying for the 2008 Under-20 Women's World Cup, to be held in Chile from Nov. 20-Dec. 7.

The 17-year-old Noyola, who is the youngest player on the roster, is considered one of the top midfield prospects to come along in women's soccer in recent years.

The 5-foot-3 Noyola, who will attend Stanford next fall, scored off a cross from the University of North Carolina's Nikki Washington with first-time volley into the net from eight yards out.
