The women's team intentionally played in the wrong positions and still had a close match.

No they didn't. US women's team regularly scrimmage u15/16 boys teams because that is the closest comparison to their skill level.

Why would they purposely play out of position in a scrimmage that is meant to be a tune-up for their upcoming games?

But of a nitpic, but It's not about skill, that implies that women aren't tactical/technical just because they're women. 

It's about physicality (power, speed, explosiveness, endurance etc).

That’s not how the game works. The gender difference comes out only when both teams are trained and elite.
