U.S. women cancel exhibition due to poor field conditions


HONOLULU (AP) — The U.S. women's soccer team has canceled Sunday's victory tour exhibition against Trinidad and Tobago in Hawaii because of poor field conditions at Aloha Stadium.

U.S. Soccer says in a statement that "the artificial turf surface is not suitable to hold an international soccer match."

The federation adds the surface was tested during training Saturday, "and after all possible options available were considered to get the field in a playable condition, the decision was made by U.S. Soccer to cancel the match."

All tickets will be refunded.
