Sentnor nets two as USWNT cruises past Jamaica

Ally Sentnor scored twice in the first half and Lynn Biyendolo added two in the second as the United States eased past Jamaica 4-0 in a friendly in Saint Louis, Missouri, on Tuesday night.

Retired U.S. veteran Becky Sauerbrunn was honored before the game at City Park in her hometown as Emma Hayes side dominated a shorthanded Jamaica side in its second friendly of the international window.

The U.S. beat China 3-0 on Saturday.

Lynn Biyendolo came on as a second-half substitute and scored shortly after, tapping home from close range after a corner kick to make it 3-0, and added her second late on with a blistering run through the heart of the Jamaica defense to finish from an Avery Patterson cross.

The USWNT’s first goal came after some nice buildup, with Lily Yohannes playing a perfect ball over the Jamaica defense to Emily Fox, who laid the off for Sentnor to blast past Jamaica keeper Liya Brooks with her first touch.

Sentnor’s second was a more straightforward affair, as the ball fell to the Utah Royals forward in the area for an easy left-footed finish. The goals were the 21-year-old Sentnor’s third and fourth of her senior career.

With no international tournaments on the horizon this summer, the U.S. will instead play three more friendlies including a pair of games against the Republic of Ireland at the end of June and the third against Canada on July 2.
