WASHINGTON -- Natasha Kai had her first career hat trick with three second-half goals to lead the U.S. women's soccer team to a 6-0 win against Canada in a friendly Saturday at RFK Stadium.
Carli Lloyd, Leslie Osborne and Lindsay Tarpley also scored and Abby Wambach had three assists for the U.S., which is 13-0-1 this year.
U.S. goalie and Richland native Hope Solo had the shutout.
Kai headed in two goals six minutes apart to break the game open.
The first, in the 54th minute, came when Kai headed a high, arcing pass from Lloyd. The ball glanced off Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod and into the net.
Kai found the net again soon after, this time beating McLeod to a pass from Shannon Boxx in the 60th minute. She finished the hat trick with a goal on Wambach's assist in the 75th minute.
Lloyd had a goal in the 63rd minute and Osborne scored in the 88th minute. Tarpley gave the U.S. a 1-0 lead in the 23rd minute.
It was the final game of a three-game domestic stretch for the U.S. The Americans next play against Italy on June 15 in the Peace Queen Cup in Seoul, South Korea.
