Courtney Brosnan: 8 

Having played all eight group games, and kept four clean sheets, the New Jersey-born stopper pulled off a stunning save to deny Weir from the penalty. Lucky not to concede another spot-kick soon after for what seemed a foul on Thomas. Thwarted Cuthbert on 74. Guided her defence through a nervous final stages.
