The Emma Hayes era with the United States women's national team has been a good one so far, with 31 wins and just three losses in 36 games.

Goals from Rose Lavelle and Lindsey Heaps guided the United States to a 2-1 win over Japan in San Jose, their 10th victory in a row.

The SheBelieves Cup result has likely stuck with U.S. players as much as it has Hayes, and helps explain why she seized the opportunity to play the highest-ranked Asian team in the world (No. 5, according to FIFA) three times during this international window, starting with a game today at PayPal Park in San Jose.
