Sophia Smith scored twice in the second half and the U.S. women's national team beat Colombia 3-0 on Saturday night to extend its home unbeaten streak to 68 games.
Sophia Smith scored twice and Taylor Kornieck scored once
Smith scored her first in the 54th minute off a pass from Rose Lavelle when Colombian goalkeeper Catalina Perez came out of her goal. She added her second in the 60th minute. Perez made two penalty saves. She stopped Lindsey Horan's attempt late in the first half, and then saved Lavelle's chance in the 70th.
Defender Becky Sauerbrunn said afterward that U.S. Soccer worked with the players, much like when the men's national team took a stand for gun control measures in the wake of the deadly Uvalde, Texas, school shooting. She was asked about the upcoming game in Utah, which she said the team wouldn't refuse to play. Utah had a trigger law that made all elective abortions illegal when the high court ruled. Utah’s law has exceptions for pregnancies from rape or incest, and also make exceptions for women whose health would be compromised.
