The United States Under-15 GNT finished Group A play at the Concacaf Championship with a 13-0 win against Haiti on Thursday.

Kendall Conway scored a first-half hat trick, Carolina Reyna and Laradana Paletta bagged two goals each in the victory.

It was a quickfire start to the game for the United States. Mia Corona blasted home from outside the box just 35 seconds after the kick off. Less than a minute later, Conway scored the first of three first-half goals, finishing a cutback by KK Ream.

Conway headed home a free kick by Bristol Kersh, as the United States continued to pressure the Haitians. After a lull in the scoring, the USA added two more before the break. Amari Manning found herself in enough space in the 30th minute to lash home a fourth goal from just outside the box. And Conway’s hat trick came when she slid home a saved Madeline DiMaria shot.

DiMaria added a sixth goal two minutes into the half. Played in behind by substitute McKenna Whitham, she faked past one defender and her deflected shot beat the Haitian goalkeeper. The lead was extended by Loradana Paletta in the 48th minute. After a fierce Whitham shot was saved into the path of the midfielder, who got a goal.

Goals were also scored by Caroline Swann, Kersh, another by Paletta, two more from Carolina Reyna and Whitham. 

Next up for the USA is a semifinal matchup against Canada on Friday at 11 a.m. EST.

Anne Fowler (Ella McNeal); Alexandra Han, Elena Vera (Meila Brewer), Chloe Miller, Bristol Kersh (Taylor Morrell); Loradana Paletta, Kendall Conway (Deus Stanislaus), Mia Corona (Caroline Swann); Madeline DiMaria (Carolina Reyna), Amari Manning (McKenna Whitham), KK Ream
