Tordin’s team-leading four goals, a hat trick against Paraguay and the against Mexico, are the most by a U.S. player at the competition since Maya Hayes in 2012. Alex Morgan scored four and Sydney Leroux won the Golden Boot scored five when the USA lifted the title in 2008.
The last U.S. team that won the U-20 World Cup, in 2012, included Crystal Dunn, Julie Ertz and Sam Mewis.
Whether or not Kevins’ women match that feat, their spectacular run to reach the final four indicate some bright futures with the full national team.
