The USWNT showcased a dominant performance in their Concacaf W Gold Cup Group A match, defeating the Dominican Republic with a score of 5-0 at Dignity Health Sports Park. 18-year-old Olivia Moultrie was a standout player, scoring her first two goals for the USWNT at the 8' and 58' minute marks, marking a significant moment in her career and the team's history. Lynn Williams, Jaelin Howell (referred to as Nighswonger in the tweets), who scored her first goal, and Alex Morgan also contributed to the scoreline, each adding a goal. The match was notable not only for the victory but also for the aggressive play and the dynamic between Moultrie and Midge Purce, which was highlighted as a key factor in the team's success. This game serves as the USWNT's first step towards World Cup redemption, following their previous record-setting 14-0 victory against the Dominican Republic, which set program records for the most goals scored and largest margin of victory in USWNT history.

Purce to Williams, which I originally wrote as Purce to Gotham bc lol tired but also accurate. Anyway, this one counts. 2-0, #USWNT.
