PORTLAND, Oregon (March 18, 2023) – The U.S. Under-23 Women’s National Team dropped a 3-1 result to Racing Louisville FC to finish its three-game run against National Women’s Soccer League teams at the Thorns Preseason Tournament.

The U.S. team, playing with a roster made up entirely of collegiate players, faced off against Racing side made up mostly of starting players, and gave up the first goal in the 14th minute as midfielder Lauren Milliet played a cross from the left side over the U.S. backline to midfielder Elli Pikkujamsa at the back post and she headed the ball home.

The USA tied the game in the 24th minute as outside back Ellie Wheeler played a pass down the left flank to forward Reilyn Turner. She beat a defender and dribbled into the penalty area before finishing well past the Racing goalkeeper.

Racing took the lead again 11 minutes later as midfielder Savannah DeMelo sent a pass into the slot inside the penalty area for Nigerian international Uchenna Kanu to finish first-time from close range.

Three minutes before halftime, two other internationals combined for the third goal, as China’s Wang Shuang played a cross to Brazilian Ary Borges deep inside the penalty area and she headed into the net to make it 3-1. The USA did manage to fire 16 total shots in the match but could not add to its goal total in the second half.
