Advertiser Staff

Kahuku native Natasha Kai recorded an assist in the U.S. women's national soccer team's first win in Norway as it defeated the host country, 4-0, today.

Kai, who played the entire game, assisted Carli Lloyd's goal in the 52nd minute after making a run into the penalty area and passing it to Lloyd.

Lindsay Tarpley put the USA on the board in the fourth minute after forward Abby Wambach received a throw-in and passed it to Tarpley. Angela Hucles scored in the 84th minute on a 40-yard blast. Wambach scored her 99th career goal on a through pass from Amy Rodriguez in the 87th minute to close out the scoring.

The U.S. plays Sweden Saturday.
