The USA capped off their 3 game series with a 2-0 win in Chicago on the 20th. Shannon Boxx was captain of the game as she celebrated he 100th cap. This was also the USA's 29th win in the calender year, which means they broke the record for most wins. The USA had 28 wins in 2004. The goal scores in this game were Lori Chalupny and Kate Markgraf, who both happen to be defenders! This was Kate Markgraf's first ever goal in 193 games with the national team. She actually got the goal off of a penalty kick.
