The US women down Mexico 4-0 to secure an Olympic spot
By ANNE M. PETERSON

CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Samantha Mewis’ goal on a blistering free kick in the second half against Mexico left no doubt that the United States was on its way to the Olympics.
Mewis scored twice and the U.S. national team secured its place in Tokyo this summer with a 4-0 semifinal victory Friday night in the CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying tournament.
“I hope so,” she said about her statement-making goal putting the U.S. firmly in control. “There were ups and downs in the game. I thought Mexico played really well, they did a great job and they were a hard team to beat. I think every time we were able to score it helped us kind of reset ourselves.”
Rose Lavelle and Christen Press also scored for the United States, which extended its unbeaten streak to 27 games.
