ASUNCIÓN, Paraguay – Duke senior Alaina McVeigh scored four goals as the U.S. U21 Women's Field Hockey National Team capped pool play at the Junior Pan American Games with an 11-0 victory over Guyana.
The United States finished at the top of Pool B with nine points from wins versus Mexico, Chile and Guyana. McVeigh finished opening round action with nine goals as all three Blue Devils – Madison Beach, Macy Szukics and McVeigh earned starts in each of the three outings.
In the final game of group B action, McVeigh scored twice in the first half and tacked on two more in the fourth quarter with the final coming off a penalty corner.
McVeigh, following a two-goal performance in the opening win, notched a hat trick versus Chile and had four to round out group action. The U.S. advances to the semifinals and will play the winner between Canada and Uruguay Aug. 17 at 6:45 p.m. (ET).
The semifinal winner advances to the gold medal game, while the loser will play in the bronze medal match. The medal round contests are set for Aug. 19 at 5:30 and 7:45 p.m.
