The United States defeated China 1–0 in the quarterfinal of this summer's World Cup with a goal from Carli Lloyd. The United States holds a 33-8-13 all-time record against China.
The USWNT plans on playing four exhibition games in December. The coming trip marks the team’s first return to New Orleans since 2003, when the team played at Tad Gormley Stadium.
