FRISCO, Texas — It wasn't the first time that this edition of the U.S. women's soccer team didn't always look good against a big-time opponent. And it wasn't the first time that the Americans left the field winners anyway.
Alex Morgan's spectacular goal in first-half stoppage time woke her team out of a rut, and Mallory Swanson scored in the 63rd to cap off the SheBelieves Cup tournament with a 2-1 win over Brazil.
After Crystal Dunn had an 18-yard blast saved in the 3rd minute, the U.S. attack struggled to produce quality play. Brazil, meanwhile, had a number of chances — including a shot wide by young rising star Kerolin after Bia Zaneratto charged upfield untouched.
