The U.S. U-21 women’s national team scored three goals in the first 16 minutes en route to a 6-1 destruction of Sweden to win its third consecutive title at the Nordic Cup, the top U-21 women’s tournament. North Carolina-bound forward Anne Morrell, making her first start of the tournament, scored three goals, all off far post headers, while BYU midfielder Aleisha Cramer registered two goals and two assists. The U.S. deluge of goals came despite playing without its top two forwards in Florida’s Abby Wambach, who was suspended for receiving two yellow cards, and West Virginia’s Katie Barnes, who could not play with a badly bruise foot.
