Lynn Bendollo, the first half-brace of Ellie Sendner and second half from the second-Haf, helped the American women’s national team to continue their dominance over Jamaica with a 4–0 win in a friendly in St. Louis on Tuesday.
Sendnor scored in the 19th and 28th minute and Phallon Tullis-Meyce recorded its third shutout in several career matches.
This should not be surprised. The US has won all six matches in the series by shutouts, each scored at least four goals.
Bendolo made it 3–0 in the 60th minute, a few minutes after coming out of the bench. He capted scoring in the 88th minute by Every Patterson for his 24th goal. Patterson received its first American assistance.
The US had great advantages while maintaining shot efforts (23–2), shots (10–0) and corner kick (12–0) and 82.4 percent occupation.
Sendnor doubled its American output in their ninth match (fourth beginning). She opened the scoring by taking a setup by Emily Fox and did one-taching shot in the lower left corner.
She was in the right place for the second score. Alyssa Thompson’s shot was blocked, but the ball came to Sam Coffee. An attempt by coffee was sent directly to Jamaican defender Chantale Swabi, who had moved away from the 67th minute.
The lead increased 3–0 after the US did nothing on its first 11 corner kick. But on the next one, Bendolo scored at a reversal of Claire Hutton Header.
The US opened a two-match window with a 3–0 win against China on Saturday. It is followed by Ireland vs. Ireland on 26 June and 29 June in Commerce City, Kolo and Cincinnati. The final summer match will be against Canada in Washington, DC on 6 July.
A story originating from the latest two matches was the return of defender Naomi Girma for its first US matches this year. She was absent due to several injured injuries after starting 18 matches in 2024.
She was part of the 27th shutout in her 44th beginning.
