Kai scores in U.S. soccer team win

Associated Press

FARO, Portugal — Natasha Kai, Hawai'i's first player on the U.S. women's soccer team, scored a goal in a 5-0 win over Denmark in the Algarve Cup on Saturday.

Heather O'Reilly scored twice, and Kristine Lilly and Abby Wambach also scored for the U.S. team, which posted its largest margin of victory in the 13-year history of the tournament. The U.S. team only needs a tie with France on Monday to qualify for the March 15 final against Germany.

Kai's goal in the second half was the final goal of the day.
