U.S. U-19 team tops Scotland in quarterfinals

The United States rolled over Scotland, 13-1, in the quarterfinals of the Federation of International Lacrosse Women's Under-19 World Championship Wednesday in Hanover, Germany.

The three-time defending champions advance to face England in Friday's semifinal. All of the teams that advanced to the semifinals came from Pool A, in which the U.S. went unbeaten. (The U.S. defeated England, 16-5, in pool play Sunday.)

The United States team, which has lost only one game in the five world championship tournaments, improved to 6-0 and is the only unbeaten team remaining.

Australia, which has won the last three silver medals, defeated previously-unbeaten Wales, 20-6, in the quarterfinals. Wales had won Pool B.

England defeated Japan 20-12 in the quarterfinals, and Canada defeated the Haudenosaunee 20-5.
