SAN ANTONIO --
Christen Press scored three goals after entering the game as a second-half substitute and the United States defeated Trinidad and Tobago 6-0 in an exhibition at the Alamodome on Thursday night.
Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan and Lindsey Horan also scored as the U.S. team continued its victory tour to celebrate the Women's World Cup victory in Canada this past summer.
Press first scored in the 61st minute, right after she came into the game. She also scored in the 75th and 84th minutes for her third career hat trick. Press also scored three goals in an 8-0 victory tour win over Costa Rica on Aug. 17 in Pittsburgh.
The match capped a week of drama for both teams, who had been scheduled to play last Sunday in Hawaii. That match was canceled after U.S. players complained about the condition of the playing surface during a practice a day earlier.
The Trinidad and Tobago players threatened to boycott Thursday's match in San Antonio because of a dispute over pay.
