The Hawaii Bulls striker Sunshine Fontes  became the second all-time leading U.S. U-17 women's scorer with her 20th strike in a 2-2 tie with South Korea. Fontes scored her 19th in the USA's first friendly against the host, a 4-4 tie, during the USA's South Korea trip, part of preparations for the 2018 U-17 World Cup in Uruguay in November.

Maya Doms, who also scored in the 4-4 tie, scored the other goal in the 2-2 tie against the South Koreans, who qualified for the 2018 U-17 World Cup as Asian runner-up to North Korea, ahead of third-place finisher Japan.

With 20 goals (in 26 games), Fontes moved past Summer Green, who scored 19 goals for the U-17s in 2011-12. Ashley Sanchez, who played in the 2016 U-17 World Cup, is the all-time U-17 scoring leader with 21 goals.
