VIDEO: USWNT captain Lindsey Horan lifts the first-ever CONCACAF W Gold Cup trophy after securing victory over Brazil

The last person to walk on stage, Horan was handed the trophy as she joined her teammates on the podium. With a confetti shower, booming music and cheering from all around the stadium to follow, the USWNT captain hoisted the trophy while they all celebrated on stage.

The trophy lift comes at the perfect time for Twila Kilgore's squad, who have now gotten over their woes from the 2023 FIFA World Cup in New Zealand. With it arrives a new generation of players, new mentalities and new leadership - soon to be in the form of Chelsea's Emma Hayes.

The lone goal on the evening came from Horan herself, who had quite the tournament from her central midfield role. She scored once in the group stage against Argentina, added another in the knockouts versus Colombia and then added her third Sunday evening with a top header.

On deck is the SheBelieves Cup for the USWNT, followed by the Paris Olympics. They have a few weeks break before they take on Japan on April 6 to begin their quest for their second trophy of the year.
