CDS Alum Makes World Cup Debut
The Women’s World Cup kicked off last weekend in Edmonton as the world watched the opening match between Canada and China. Both teams had chances throughout the match, but a disappointing, scoreless draw almost seemed inevitable.
With the world’s eyes watching, the difference maker proved to be CDS Alum and Canadian Attacking Midfielder/Striker Adriana Leon ’10. After being subbed into the game in the 77th minute, Leon had to wait until injury time to beat a Chinese defender to a loose ball in the penalty box, drawing a foul that would give Canada a chance to grab three very important points.
Christine Sinclair converted the penalty and settled the nerves, but it was the great movement, and speed from Leon that gave Canada the chance to take top spot in Group A.
Adriana and the Canadian Women’s National Team return to the same field tomorrow night, but this time, against New Zealand. A match you can watch on CTV at 9 P.M.
Good luck Adriana!
