US earns draw with Germany

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Abby Wambach scored for the 23rd time this year, but the U.S. had to settle for a 2-2 tie with Germany on Tuesday, the teams' second draw in four days.

Dzenifer Marozsan scored twice for the Germans, including the equalizer in the 85th minute.

Tobin Heath gave the U.S. a 2-1 lead in the 67th minute on an assist from Alex Morgan, who had two in the match. Goaltender Hope Solo made six saves for the Americans, who are on a celebration tour after their Olympic victory.

The Germans had ended a 14-match winning streak for the Americans with a 1-1 draw in Chicago on Saturday. The U.S. never trailed on Tuesday night, but never seemed in control either. Germany outshot the U.S. 16-8.

They tied the match when Marozsan took a pass from Linda Bresonik, dribbled into the penalty area and beat Hope Solo to the left for the equalizer.

The team's played in a steady rain Tuesday and remained scoreless into the 44th minute. That's when Megan Rapinoe made a run down the left sideline and found Morgan who put a beautiful crossing pass into the box. Germany's Annike Krahn got a foot on the ball, but not enough to redirect the pass and Wambach was waiting to head it down and into the goal.
