CONCACAF UNDER-20 WOMEN'S QUALIFYING: USA crushes Surinam

The U.S. U-20 womenÆs national team got two goals from USC forward Amy Rodriguez before she was red carded in a 4-0 victory over Surinam at the CONCACAF WomenÆs Under-20 Qualification Tournament.

The USA neets El Salvador on Jan. 23 in its last group game. The U.S. team is all but mathematically clinched a spot in the next round, as it would need to lose by a large margin to El Salvador to miss the all-important semifinals.

The two semifinal winners and the winner of the third-place match earn CONCACAFÆs three berths to the 2006 FIFA U-20 WomenÆs World Championship in Russia.
