CARSON, Calif. (March 3, 2005) - First half strikes from Brooke Knowlton and Casey Noguirea were all the U.S. Under-16 Girls National Team ended up needing as they defeated the German U-17 Women’s National Team 3-1 in their rematch this afternoon at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
The U-16s had fallen to Germany 1-0 a couple days earlier, but this time were able to jump out to a 2-0 lead at the half. On the USA's first goal in the 17th minute, Amy Caldwell fed Knowlton, who beat a defender at the top of the 18-yard line before finishing past the 'keeper to the left side of the goal. The U.S. doubled their lead right before the half when Noguirea stole a poor backpass by a German defender and finished past the goalkeeper.
Germany got one back when they scored in the 43rd minute, but Knowlton assisted on a goal by Jessie Bradley in the 74th minute to secure the victory.
