(Sept. 26, 2012) - Woodgrove High School senior soccer standout Brittany Basinger helped the United States to a 6-0 win over Gambia Tuesday in the FIFA Under-17 Women's World Cup in Azerbaijan.

United States struggled offensively early but got on track when Basinger, making a run from her left back spot, was brought down in the box in the 25th minute as she attempted a cross. Summer Green buried the resulting penalty kick and the rout was on.

The six goals was an all-time high for the U.S. Women Under-17 squad at a World Cup.
