USA: U-21 USWNT Edged by Germany, Still Claim Highest Junior World Cup Finish

Germany, who had been looking for a penalty corner all match, finally earned one in the 27th minute. A drag flick from Lena Frerichs gave them a 1-0 lead heading into halftime. Die Danas then doubled their advantage early in the third quarter to 2-0, and hinging off that momentum, tallied another just minutes later to go up 3-0.

In the final minute of the third frame, Germany earned a penalty stroke, but a sensational save from Alyssa Klebasko denied them the goal.
