USWNT maintain dominance of Jamaica behind Sentnor and Biyendolo doubles
Ally Sentnor's first-half brace and two goals by second-half substitute Lynn Biyendolo helped the US women's national team continue their dominance over Jamaica with an easy 4-0 victory in a friendly in St Louis on Tuesday. Sentnor scored in the 19th and 28th minutes and Phallon Tullis-Joyce recorded her third shutout in as many career matches. That should be no surprise. The US have won all six matches in the series by shutout, scoring at least four goals in each. Biyendolo made it 3-0 in the 60th minute, minutes after coming off the bench. She capped the scoring in the 88th minute on a cross by Avery Patterson for her 24th goal. Patterson got her first US assist. The US had huge advantages in shot attempts (23-2), shots on goals (10-0) and corner kicks (12-0) and while maintaining 82.4 percent possession. Sentnor doubled her US output in her ninth match (fourth start). She opened the scoring by taking a setup by Emily Fox and one-touching a shot to the lower left corner. She was in the right spot for the second score. Alyssa Thompson's shot was blocked, but the ball came to Sam Coffey. An attempt by Coffey went off Jamaican defender Chantelle Swaby directly to Sentnor, who was subbed off the 67th minute. The lead went to 3-0 after the US had done nothing on its first 11 corner kicks. But on the next one, Biyendolo scored on a rebound of a Claire Hutton header. The US opened the two-match window with a 3-0 win against China on Saturday. Next are matches v Ireland on 26 June and 29 June in Commerce City, Colorado, and Cincinnati, respectively. The final summer match will be against Canada in Washington DC on July 6.

Sentnor and Biyendolo score 2 each and US women beat Jamaica 4-0
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ally Sentnor and Lynn Biyendolo each scored two goals and the United States beat Jamaica 4-0 on Tuesday night after the team honored longtime defender Becky Sauerbrunn. Sentnor scored in the 19th minute, then formed a heart with her hands in celebration. She scored her second off a deflection 10 minutes later. The 21-year-old 2024 U.S. Soccer Young Player of the Year, who now has four international goals, credited her teammates. 'They're really easy to play with at moving the ball,' Sentnor said. 'I'm still trying to work to get better for them.' Biyendolo scored in the 60th minute, three minutes after coming into the game as a substitute. She added a second in the 88th minute off a cross from Avery Patterson. Biyendolo has 24 career goals. Phallon Tullis-Joyce made her second consecutive in goal for the United States as coach Emma Hayes looks for a successor to longtime goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, who retired last year. It was her third straight clean sheet. Jamaica, which has never beaten the U.S, started two sets of sisters — Allyson and Chantelle Swaby, and Kalyssa and Amelia Van Zanten. The U.S. was coming off a 3-0 victory over China on Saturday in St. Paul, Minnesota. The national team was originally scheduled to play a pair of matches against China, but Chinese officials in April pulled out of the second game and Jamaica filled the spot. Before the game, the United States honored Sauerbrunn, who retired from soccer late last year. The St. Louis native, whose international career spanned 16 years, is a two-time Women's World Cup winner and an Olympic gold medalist. Fans, who received a bobblehead in her image, gave her a standing ovation and chanted her name in a pregame ceremony. Sauerbrunn, who recently announced that she is expecting her first child with partner Zola Short, also served in her new role as a television commentator for the match. The United States next plays a pair of matches against Ireland, the first on June 26 in Commerce City, Colorado, and the second on June 29 in Cincinnati. The U.S. will also play Canada on July 6 in Washington D.C. ___ AP soccer:

USWNT, USMNT new kits: Check out the new U.S. Soccer jerseys for 2025
U.S. Soccer on Tuesday revealed two brand new kits for the U.S. women's and men's national teams, both of which involved design input from players. In a press release accompanying the kit reveal, U.S. Soccer said that Nike athletes Kellyn Acosta, Lynn Biyendolo, Naomi Girma, Sophia Wilson, DeAndre Yedlin, and Walker Zimmerman — each of whom has dozens of USWNT or USMNT caps — were involved in designing the kits, dubbed "Brilliant" and "Heartbeat," respectively. The "Brilliant" kit is a USWNT-only edition, honoring the 40th anniversary of the women's program. It features a star-based pattern, and will carry four stars above the U.S. Soccer crest to commemorate the team's four World Cup triumphs. "To me, the kits represent the USWNT mentality of always pushing forward,' said Biyendolo, who helped the USWNT to a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, via press release. "I know I can speak for my teammates when I say that every time we put on the uniform, it brings a great sense of pride. When we represent our country, our team and ourselves, we know we are doing so while standing on the shoulders of giants. The 'Brilliant' kit is just another way to honor our past and the women who played before us." A tribute to the trailblazers who have shaped soccer and inspired generations. — U.S. Women's National Soccer Team (@USWNT) May 13, 2025 "This collection represents Nike's deep commitment to women's soccer as an undeniable force that continues to elevate the game globally," added Maggie Gauger, Vice President/GM of Nike North America Women's Business. "The refreshed designs honor the brilliance of the U.S. Women's National Team — celebrating 40 years of legacy, resilience, and groundbreaking achievements both on and off the pitch." The USWNT will debut the "Brilliant" kit later this month, when they host China in St. Paul, Minn. on May 31. The USMNT will carry on with its existing lighter kit, while both teams will begin wearing the predominantly navy blue "Heartbeat" kit as their darker option. The USMNT's first match in that kit will be a June 7 friendly against Turkey in East Hartford, Conn. The kit launch has come as part of a mini-capsule that includes an all-red warm-up jersey and a pre-game anthem jacket in navy, red, and a lighter shade of blue.
