It's strong tonight.
You're watching ESPN's coverage.
Stand out to you on this line-up right away.
Ashlyn Harris, Floridian native, gets the start in goal.
But up top, Julia Lott.
ESPN's coverage of U.S. soccer.
Brought to you by that 2015 team.
In the starting line-up, two teenagers.
Blanco at the back and Chinchilla, their leading scorer.
Underway for the final game of 2019.
Free kick for the U.S.
Won by Rose Lavelle through the middle.
Cook out of the back looking for purse.
Runs out of room. It'll be a goal kick.
What stood out to you from that Sweden game?
Makes one miss. Diagonal ball. Deflects.
Top corner just like that.
Carly Lloyd stays red hot.
And here is the beauty of Rose Lavelle.
All the way back to where she wins this ball.
Look at that first touch. Taking it through.
She cuts back. She finds a little space.
And Carly Lloyd is just so...
18-year-old Alexi Rodriguez with the cross.
Delivery.
Picks out Raquel Rodriguez and she drags it wide.
Under pressure.
Lloyd is clearly making her case
to occupy that role for Olympic qualifying.
There's Guillen.
The tough decision.
He's going to have to certainly.
Taking over at this time in the cycle.
Offside flag is up again.
Great little ball in by Julie Ertz though.
And I know one of the themes that...
On cue. Into the penalty area.
Driven into the corner.
Morgan Bryan back in the lineup.
And it's 2-0 U.S. inside of 10 minutes.
And again it's that one.
Number 16 Rose Lavelle.
If you can get the ball at Rose Lavelle's feet,
good things happen.
Draws three players.
It's going to be an interesting one after the way the...
Here's Mitch Purse getting forward.
Playing it across.
Lloyd finally gets it away with the left.
And turned it wide.
Into the time when the World Cup call-ups were missing.
Ertz is just offside.
Breaking in.
Frustrated with herself.
Again that ball. Rose Lavelle.
And again the freedom for Julie Ertz.
Pressured by Lavelle though.
Kristen Kress tries it with the left foot.
And skies it from 25 yards.
But no shortage of confidence.
Lavelle under pressure.
Tripped up by the youngster Chichia.
Press delivery.
Lavelle the target.
It's headed clear.
And a player down right off the bat.
Heath's delivery.
Almost a good connection at the back post.
Alana Cook skying for that one.
Heath waits for the overlap.
Her shot finally closed down.
And Bermudez comes out to grab it.
Tries to get soccer.
Finds Lixi Rodriguez.
Diagonal ball spinning.
And it twists.
Noelia Bermudez feeling adventurous.
Almost got burned for it.
Blanco had to clear that one away.
Ball skipped out of range of Lavelle.
It was in acres of space.
She's Kate Markrath.
That's all coming up at halftime.
Came off Carly Lloyd's hand.
It'll be a Costa Rican free kick from their own penalty area.
Six subs allotted for this one.
The U.S. has seven available.
As we're into stoppage time.
Just one minute of it here.
Now the delivery near post looking for Ertz.
And she had a hard collision with Lixi Rodriguez who is still down.
And now they'll get the attention.
But Ertz, of course, looking with eyes on the ball.
And that's the last action of the first half
that saw the United States strike for two goals in the first ten minutes.
The U.S. 2, Costa Rica nothing.
Underway for the final 45 minutes.
With her speed on the other side as well.
Stretch that back line.
He plays her through.
Lynn Williams in the penalty area.
Has the finishing touch at the international level.
Goal number five.
Lynn Williams makes it 3-0.
There's the pace we just talked about.
Tobin Heath playing the role of provider.
And when you have wheels like this,
great first touch by Lynn Williams to take that defender completely out of it.
And then decides up.
Inside in the first half running against Lixi Rodriguez has helped.
Rodriguez drives it toward the penalty spot.
Off the bench.
Purses delivery.
Looking for Williams.
And it was cleared away at the near post.
Blanco down again.
She got there ahead of the goalkeeper Bermudez.
May have caught something in her eye.
Heath to Williams.
To the back post.
Kristen Press off the post.
What looked like a gimme.
And she'll be frustrated not to.
Has to press as well.
There's a great touch.
There's Kristen Press' goal.
She's like, I'm not going to miss this one.
There's Mitch Persigan getting in the action.
U.S. takes the throw in quickly.
Sonnet knocked down.
Morgan Bryant played it square.
Williams from distance knocked away.
Bermudez, her first stop of the day.
And it was a good one.
Too many times just getting caught with her feet, Bermudez.
And that.
Second half.
A player, a better group.
Heath goes end line.
And Bermudez is there.
And that really is, I think.
A starter in the NCAA tournament that Florida State won last year.
It's driven off the crossbar.
And Melissa Herrera that close to finding one for Costa Rica.
Little rhythm for Costa Rica as well.
Pugh left it.
Rose Lavelle sees it deflected out for another corner.
I mean, the depth of this team is immense.
Wide Sonnet, the right footed delivery.
Bounces down.
Fired home.
Bar down from Lynn Williams.
She's got two.
How about Lynn Williams?
Hasn't seen time in almost two years.
And here she comes back into the scene.
Two goals.
Should have had it.
Lavelle slots that through.
Purse does get there.
Loosed.
Twisting and turning.
Rocky Rodriguez drove it high.
Arriving at the top of the penalty area.
Speaking of players whose alma maters won conference titles.
Penn State took the big 10.
Still Melissa Herrera.
That shot off the crossbar again.
Ertz heads away.
And finally the U.S. gets clear.
Lavelle with the spin move.
Beats one more.
Off the goal line after it caromed off of Williams' shin.
She didn't know anything about it.
Came back.
This is Purse.
With such a tight turnaround and all the hard decisions he's going to have to make
coming into this Olympic cycle.
Not going to be at your detriment.
And now facing a crowded field of players.
As the U.S. concedes another free kick.
It was a couple years ago.
It was January and Mallory Pugh was Stephanie Blanco.
She can hit these.
Too much air, though, under that one.
Continuing on the Vlaka-Andanofsky story.
The national team has to come to mind.
Yes, I was thinking about it.
Oh, that one deflects in.
Spinning away to add insult to injury.
Goal number six.
Women's World Cup champion since that road loss in January.
Offside flag is up.
Denying Williams a crack at a hat trick.
The stoppage time at the end of this one.
U.S. looking for lucky number seven.
Almost fell to Pugh.
And then Williams arriving.
Saw her shot deflected out for a corner.
And then the rest of that year is going to be crazy as well.
And for this last game of 2019,
the players mean so much to be proud of.
You get a shutout in this last game.
You introduce the new coaching era.
