Three years ago today, the USWNT won the 2019 World Cup – their second straight title.

The title put them on par with Germany as the only teams to repeat as champions in back-to-back World Cup events.

Megan Rapinoe scored first for the USWNT – the same Megan Rapinoe who’s receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday – and was followed up by a goal from Rose Lavelle.

Both Rapinoe and Alex Morgan were among the tournament’s top scorers, with six goals apiece. Rapinoe was later named the tournament’s best player, winning both the Golden Ball and the Golden Boot.

Morgan won the silver boot while Lavelle was awarded the Bronze Ball.
