It was actually 1-nil (on a penalty) going into stoppage time when Germany scored in the second minute of stoppage time.  

Notably Evans was subbed out in the 89th minute just before the US gave up that goal. Watched the whole game. Evans was fabulous. And the penalty was on Gisele Thompson. A very careless play by her. Too bad she went pro rather than play at Stanford. Can't help but think she would have been better off training with the program that produced Naomi Girma.  

Thankfully Jasmine Aikey has been holding the fort in Evans' absence.  Despite being a converted midfielder/forward this season, she just won ACC Defensive Player of the Week!  And I'm really excited for how well freshman Ella Emri has been playing at center back too.  Really solid. With her playing so well I assume Aikey will be moved back up (likely to center forward) once Evans returns.  Aikey is already a 2-time Pac 12 Offensive Player of the Week.  It'd be amazing if Aikey can win ACC Defensive Player of the Week and Offensive Player of the Week in the same season!
