The U.S. Under-21 Women’s National Team opened the 2004 Nordic Cup with a 3-0 win over Finland. UCLA defender Jill Oakes helped set up the first goal by making a long pass to Natasha Kai, who was fouled inside the penalty area after taking just one touch. Team captain Joanna Lohman converted on the penalty shot opportunity to give the Bruins the early lead. UCLA sophomore forward Chad Barrett recorded a goal in the seventh minute for the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team in a 2-1 loss to Northern Ireland in the Milk Cup last Friday. Barrett led the team in scoring, notching three of the team’s four goals en route to their sixth place finish.
