After defeating Zambia with a dominant 3-0 win in the first game of the group stage at the Paris Olympics, the U.S. Women's National Team is now looking ahead to its next match.
Mallory Swanson scored a pair of goals just moments apart in the first half and the United States opened the Olympics with a 3-0 victory over Zambia on Thursday night, giving new coach Emma Hayes a win in her first major tournament with the team.
Trinity Rodman also scored for the United States, which is looking to add a record fifth gold medal to its Olympic collection.
Hayes took over the U.S. team in late May after finishing out the season with Chelsea in the Womenâs Super League. She shook things up a bit with her roster, leaving star forward Alex Morgan, a veteran of three Olympics, at home.
Hayes is charged with leading the Americans as they seek to distance themselves from the disappointment of last summerâs Womenâs World Cup, when they crashed out in the round of 16.
The USWNT won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
