Daily News | Mallory Swanson’s latest big goal carries the USWNT to a 1-0 win over Japan in the SheBelieves Cup
-- half the Americans’ scoring total in that stretch -- fueled a 1-0 win before a lively crowd of 25,471 fans at GEODIS Park.

The visitors registered the first four shots of the game, though they got some help from Alex Morgan being flagged offside when Lynn Williams played her a great pass in the 23rd minute. But while the play clearly hit Japan psychologically, it didn’t feel like would be enough. And it still didn’t at the hour mark, when Japan had seven shots to the Americans’ three. None of the seven were officially on target, but many were close enough to be trouble.
