Christen Press scored three goals to power the United States to an 8-0 exhibition romp over Costa Rica on Sunday in its first game since winning the Women's World Cup in Canada last month.

The game marked the opening of a victory tour by the Americans and was played before a crowd of 44,028 at Heinz Field.

Meghan Klingenberg grew up in Pittsburgh and rewarded her hometown fans with a goal. Heather O'Reilly added two goals, with the other scores coming from Julie Johnston and Whitney Engen

Press was two of Sunday's six starters who did not start in the World Cup final. Forward Alex Morgan did not play, having undergone minor knee surgery following the World Cup. Goalkeeper Hope Solo and forward Abby Wambach entered in the second half.
