USA 4, Costa Rica 0

Michelle and Keelin played the whole match. From the MatchTracker text, Michelle had an assist and a few opportunities, but did not score in this one. Sounds like Keelin had her usual solid performance in the midfield.

This assures that the USA will play in Chile, as if there were ever any doubt.

Elli Reed again was listed as not available. It could be that she is falling just short of the 18-person roster or it could be that she has some kind of injury. Does anyone have any inside info

The word from Mexico is that Elli became ill with a respiratory infection after arrival and was unable to play. She traveled home Wed. to receive more extensive treatment and to rest.
