Santa Barbara - Tonight's game against Canada determines whether the USA U20 Women advance to the Nations Cup final against England on Saturday. The North American teams are tied with 1-1 records, although the junior Eagles sit in second on point differential.

Below is the starting roster for the Americans. Six players are making their third start of the tournament: hooker Jenn Sandifer, lock Grace Hovde, flanker Amee Svatos, captain and No. 8 Katie Johnson, inside center Akalaini Baravilala and back three Amelia Bizer.

Coach Bryn Chivers has mixed up the backline a little, moving Bizer from fullback to outside center, and trying Xanni Brown at #15.
