CNN —Interim head coach Twila Kilgore said that the US Women’s National Team will only keep improving after winning a fifth straight SheBelieves Cup in a dramatic penalty shootout against Canada.
Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher made three saves and scored a penalty in the shootout after Tuesday’s game in Columbus, Ohio, ended 2-2.
We have a growth mindset, we’re getting better, and like I said at Gold Cup, this team is just getting started.”The victory marked the US’ seventh SheBelieves Cup title and fifth in a row after previous wins against Spain, Brazil, Iceland and Japan.
The victory will give the team confidence ahead of the Olympics later this year with a fifth gold medal – and first since 2012 – on the line.
“I will be there to support her and the team as we move forward and that’s an exciting thing.”
