Group G: USA vs. France, 1-0
Chicago forward Christen Press entered for the second straight match for the U.S. Women’s National Team, helping the side earn a 1-0 victory over France. Defender Julie Johnston was pulled last minute due to a groin injury and replaced by Boston Breakers captain, Whitney Engen.
