Rachel Buehler, Kerri Hanks and Stephanie Ebner also scored for the Americans who, having already clinched advancement to the quarterfinals of the 12-nation tournament, used a vastly different lineup against a clearly inferior side.

The U.S. easily compiled a 3-0 record in group play. England and Australia played a 0-0 draw tonight to finish 1-1-1 with both advancing to the quarterfinals, England clinching one of the spots for the two best third-place teams among the three groups. Taiwan left with an 0-3 mark.

Kakadelas, Ebner, Hanks and Sarah Huffman ( two assists) were among seven players who started for the first time in this tournament tonight.

The U.S. will play Sunday night here in the quarterfinals against the third-place team from Group A (Denmark, Nigeria or Japan) or Group B (France), but will not know until Thursday night's results are completed.
