The first goal came when midfielder Kendall Conway found Nguyen at the top of the penalty area. She spun toward the net and shot over the goalkeeper from 18 yards out.
Nguyen doubled the lead and bagged her brace just over 20 minutes later. Forward Maddie DiMaria picked off a pass from the Netherlands goalkeeper and fed Nguyen, who beat the goalkeeper one-on-one. The goals were Nguyen’s first at the U-15 level.
