Red Roses player ratings as John Mitchell's side bounced back to secure a convincing victory over the USA.
Following back-to-back defeats against Canada, the Red Roses made a flying start in New Jersey, with Claudia Moloney-MacDonald scoring twice inside the opening 12 minutes.
However, the physical USA side grew into the contest and Hope Rogers crossed from close-range to reduce the deficit. Their score came after a disallowed try for them for sealing off at the lineout, ahead of a maul try.
Emma Sing then produced a clever offload for captain Megan Jones, restoring England’s 10-point advantage at half-time.
Moloney-MacDonald completed her hat-trick just three minutes after the restart before adding a fourth soon after, finishing another excellent move.
England then pulled clear, with Mia Venner crossing in the opposite corner before Bryony Field, Maddie Feaunati and Sadia Kabeya added further tries to complete a dominant second-half display.
A late Kate Zackary try gave the home fans something to cheer about, but ultimately was a consolation.
The result sees England end their WXV Global Series on a high after a couple of disappointing results against Canada in the past fortnight.
