U.S. Routs Samoa 17-0 at the U-17 World Cup

The United States opened the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup with a 17-0 win over Samoa on Monday in Salé, Morocco, setting tournament records for goals in a match and margin of victory, and Maddie DiMaria became the first player to score six times in a single game at the event.

DiMaria scored after 63 seconds, the earliest goal of this year's tournament, and had a hat-trick by the 20th minute. She added a fourth on the half hour and finished her six with goals in the 70th and 73rd minutes. The Americans led 9-0 at halftime, only the second team to score nine in a first half at the tournament after Germany against South Africa in 2010, and finished with 58 shots. Ten different players scored. Loradana Paletta and Carolina Reyna each scored twice, and Mia Corona, Grace Murray, Amari Manning, Deus Stanislaus, Isa Ortiz, Meila Brewer and Gianna Hanf added one apiece.
