Not One, But Two Awesome Things Happened At Wednesday's USWNT Game

In a game against Costa Rica Wednesday night, the U.S. Women’s National Team rewrote the history book once more, breaking records on breakaways and scoring goals with seeming ease en route to its 5-0 victory.

It all started in the game’s (literal) opening moments, when it took just one, two, three passes for standout forward Alex Morgan to get the ball though the net, scoring from the box on the game’s opening fast break. Morgan’s 12-second mark goal is the fastest ever in CWOQ competition, unseating former teammate Abby Wambach’s 35-second tally from 2012.

But that wasn’t even the smoothest score of the night. Those honors went to Christen Press' strike in the 82nd minute, when the forward beautifully reined in a cross, spun, then used her opposite foot to slice the ball toward the goal and past the keeper. 5-0, USA.

As if we needed more proof of the USWNT’s badass-ness.
