USA U-23 Women’s Soccer Goes to 2-0 in Six Nations Tournament With 2-1 Win Over Sweden

Previous Six Nations Tournament Coverage

Details are still a little sketchy since there is very very little coverage of this tournament but according to multiple soccer score websites online the US got a 2-1 victory today over Sweden to go to 2-0 in the three game tournament. The only goal scoring details we have are from @asacj1, who has been tweeting from the tournament, and apparently the US goals were in the 17th minute by Chioma Ubogagu and 31st minute by Frances Silva. Sweden got one back in the 61st minute but the US held on for the 2-1 win.

The win didn’t move the US to the top of the table as a 4-2 win by Germany over England gave them a superior goal differential. On the third and final day of the tournament (Wednesday) the US will take on Norway (who Germany beat 3-2 on the first day) while the Germans take on Sweden. Check back to WeSupportTheUS.com on Wednesday evening for a final wrap-up on the tournament. Additionally the main women’s national team will be taking on Japan on Wednesday at roughly the same time. I’ll have a brief preview of that one on Tuesday night.
