• Madeline Dahlien's hat trick came in her first U-20 cap.
Disappointing to watch. Player development is not an objective. The team played an old school 442 relying on long balls bypassing the midfield. Jamaica ran out of gas after the first ten minutes. After the US tired, they started short passes. There wasn't much defensive pressure from Jamaica.
The official showed a yellow card to a opposing player who struck our keeper in the face with her cleats. This wasn't a low ball. It was over the keepers head. High kick with cleats showing. That should be an ejection even in a lenient friendly match.
