Analysis: USWNT edges Mexico at CONCACAF W Championship

LA Times  

Kristie Mewis celebrates with Megan Rapinoe in the 89th minute Monday night after scoring the United States’ goal against Mexico during a 1-0 win in the CONCACAF W Championship. The last game the U.S. women’s national team played against Mexico in Mexico was a World Cup qualifier in 2010. So when the teams met Monday night in the group-play final of another World Cup qualifying tournament — the CONCACAF W Championship — the United States’ 1-0 win was expected. The team’s effort Monday was the kind president Yon De Luisa and the rest of the Mexican soccer federation had hoped for last year when they began an overhaul of the women’s program by making Vergara, 39, the first woman to manage the senior team, handing her a young, talented roster, most of which played in the young, flourishing domestic Liga MX and not for U.S. colleges.
