The Lionesses, who won the European Championship in July, have secured a confidence-boosting victory ahead of next summer's World Cup.
The hosts then grabbed the lead five minutes later when Mead sent a delivery into the box, Alana Cook misjudged her attempt to intervene and the ball came off her to Hemp, who slotted home from close range.
The interval saw former Lionesses take the applause of the crowd on a lap of the pitch, before Smith sent a strike wide of Earps' post two minutes into the second half. As the US sought out an equaliser, there was a scare for England with around 10 minutes left as Rose Lavelle's shot struck Hemp in the box, and Hussein gave a penalty.
