U.S. Player Ratings vs. Panama

GK: Jane Campbell, 6 – Another quiet day in goal for Campbell, who touched the ball perhaps once or twice through the 90 minutes.

D: Brittany Basinger, 7 – Excelled once again down the right flank, using her pace to get forward and add another threat to the U.S. attack.

D: Madeline Bauer, 7 – While Panama’s attack wasn’t the fiercest, Bauer was very solid in both her positioning and calmness on the ball.

D: Miranda Freeman, 7 – Like her center back counterpart, had little to do but answered everything that was asked of her when needed.

D: Gabbi Miranda, 7 – Didn’t get forward as much as Basinger did on the right, but provided good service when she did before coming out as a sub.

MF: Morgan Andrews, 8 – Once again, Andrews was all over the place, protecting her back line and taking a cleat to the knee in the first half. Scored her first goal of the tournament on an absolutely unstoppable free kick.

MF: Morgan Stanton, 7 – Took care of business in the middle of the park, covering ground, winning balls and trying to get on the end of balls in the box.

MF: Toni Payne, 7 – Playing out of her normal forward spot as an attacking midfielder, Payne made a seamless transition, opening the scoring with a tap-in 

F: Darian Jenkins, 7 – Jenkins overcame a slow start to the game – missing a number of early chances – to find the back of the net in the second half.

F: Emily Bruder, 7 – Her relentless energy helped setup the first goal of the game in the ninth minute, and the U.S. didn’t really skip a beat from there, as Bruder was steady throughout the match, getting a goal towards the end of the game.

F: Summer Green, 9 – It was another outstanding afternoon for the USA’s leading scorer, as she bagged a hat trick, increasing her goal tally at the tournament to 12.

Substitutes

F: Andi Sullivan, 7 – Entered with the game already set, but put in a tireless shift trying to maintain pressure on the Panamanians.

MF: Joanna Boyles, 7 – Came in for Andrews in the holding midfielder spot, and the U.S. didn’t skip a beat.

D: Elizabeth Raben, 7 – Got a chance to make her first appearance along the back line, entering for Miranda in the second half.
