Bleakney Scores Twice in U.S. Series vs. Germany

Manley's defensive play leads to goal vs. Chile

Orange rising sophomore Jennifer Bleankey found the back of the net twice with the U.S. U-19 team in a three-game series with Germany over the weekend in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, while Alyssa Manley's defensive effort led to the first goal in the U.S. Senior National Team's 2-0 win over Chile over the weekend to continue Orange contributions at the international level.

Bleakney was the only scorer for the U.S. in each of the team's final-two contests with Germany. The Liverpool, N.Y. native tallied the goal in an eventual 7-1 loss to the Germans on Saturday, before scoring in a 4-1 loss on Sunday.

Bleakney played in 15 games with a pair of starts for the NCAA Champions this year.

Manley helped get her team on the board by cutting off a Chile pass that led to a counterattack, setting up Katie Bam to feed Loren Shealy in front for the first goal of the game for the U.S. squad.

The win was the first in a three-game set with Chile, which continues Tuesday in Lancaster, Pa.
