Cook scores her first international goal on her 26th birthday and the Americans hold on for a 1-0 win in their first game without Mallory Swanson, who tore a tendon in her knee on Saturday.

Swanson was the top scorer for the U.S. this year with seven goals, and she had scored in six straight games, tied for the fourth-longest streak in team history. The United States shuffled its lineup for the match at City Park in Swanson’s absence. It was the final opportunity for U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski to look at players before announcing a 23-player World Cup roster, which is due in mid-July.
Before the game, the U.S. honored Becky Sauerbrunn, who is from St. Louis, for her 200th appearance with the team. The defender reached the milestone last year, but the ceremony was set for Tuesday so she could celebrate with relatives and hometown fans.
