15, 22, and 18. Those are the three ages of Canada’s goal-scorers Jordyn Huitema, Janine Beckie, and Deanne Rose from Sunday’s match against Costa Rica. For a side that has always relied upon their veterans it appears that their young players are being given a chance to shine. Despite having a roster stacked with veteran talent it was Canada’s young stars that lifted the 20,628 supporters at BMO Field in Toronto to their feet and gave their side the 6-0 win.
Beckie would earn her first trick of her international career with goals in the 6th, 13th, and 21 minutes. Huitema (73′ and 74′) would add a brace late ( while Rose would get the scoring going early with a second minute stunner.
