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 โ the same Megan Rapinoe whoโs receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday โ and was followed up by a goal from Rose Lavelle.

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