"I think obviously we wanted to keep building on the performances we had last camp, and the emphasis on coming out strong and sticking to our principles, and I think that's what we did,"
"Overall, I think a really good team performance."
"We talked about starting fast and starting strong, and I think the momentum carried out," Moultrie said. "We had a really good week of training, so I feel like it flowed into the first minutes of the game."
"It was a great win, it's always a pleasure being with this team,"
The United States defeated Italy 3-0 at Inter&Co Stadium in the first of two friendlies, with Catarina Macario scoring twice and Olivia Moultrie also on target. The U.S. opened the scoring inside two minutes after a sequence involving Lilly Reale, Rose Lavelle and Alyssa Thompson set up Moultrie. Claudia Dickey earned the shutout in her fifth senior appearance. Sam Coffey and 18-year-old Lily Yohannes provided assists for Macario's goals. An offside call later wiped out a potential second Moultrie goal. Rose Lavelle earned her 116th cap. The teams meet again Dec. 1 in Fort Lauderdale.
