Canada Soccer went all in with the rings they handed out on Friday.

Bit of a rough game to watch and I suspect to play in. Pleased for Zadorsky for the tying goal & crucial late tackle. Nice to see Zoe Burns get a run out with the senior team as well.

How do you guys feel about Beckie playing defense?  I know Kaylyn Kyle said she loved it, and even though we would miss Beckie in the striker role, she is giving other people more chances to score.  I am not a soccer expert but I can't help but to think whether we could get a winger to do that instead of just putting Beckie back there.  Thoughts?

Apparently Lawrence caught COVID which was why she missed the 2nd match:
