Claire Hutton scores first international goal to help US women beat Canada
It was the third game in seven days for the US, which beat Ireland 4-0 in each of the other two. Coach Emma Hayes's starting lineup against Canada included 10 changes from the second game against Ireland. Lynn (Williams) Biyendolo, the lone player to start both of those games, slipped behind the defense for an early chance but missed the net. Moments later, she had a header saved by Canadian goalie Kailen Sheridan. The US opened the scoring in the 17th minute when Rose Lavelle delivered a free kick into the penalty area from near the left sideline. Canada's Janine Sonis tried to head clear, but the ball fell to Avery Patterson and then bounced to Coffey about 9 yards from the goal.

It went straight into the net. Coffey was credited with the goal and Patterson with an assist.

The crowd also gave a big cheer when Tara McKeown — who plays locally for the Washington Spirit — came on as a late sub for the US. McKeown assisted on Ryan's goal.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's Daughter Won't Be Following This Family Tradition
There's a lot to be said for kids following in their famous parents footsteps. However, when it comes to Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's daughter, she's straying pretty far from the path trod by her very active parents. That's because Jonas recently revealed that the couple's daughter has no interest in one activity that both of her parents absolutely love. Related: Joanna Gains Opens up About 'Tension' at Home Ahead of Major Milestone for Her Daughter The former Jonas Brothers singer was chatting with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark when he shared that their 5-year-old daughter Malti has no interest in playing soccer, according to People magazine. 'We tried soccer — did not like that,' he revealed while on the morning show. 'But karate, she's really taken to karate. It's basically they get in their karate outfits and they just say, 'hi-ya,' and they just do that.' The news comes as a surprise for those who know Jonas and Chopra well, consider the two have a pretty big affinity for the sport themselves. In case you don't know, Jonas loves playing in charity soccer matches. And Chopra, well she was very vocal about the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team scoring a big W in their fight over equal pay. All of which lead many to believe that little Malti would be a natural when it came to the sport. But, as seasoned parents everywhere know, kids are born with their own likes and dislikes, no matter how deep their parents' passion for a sport goes. So, it's likely that Malti will continue to carve her own path out for herself when it comes to her extra curriculars. Hopefully her parents continue to support her, no matter how far she strays from their own personal interests. Up Next:
