Congrats to Ms. Kinzner!
(Forgot to move this to the Olympic Sports thread a few days ago. )

AND, further congrats are now in order as she was named the "CONCACAF ‎player-of-the-match" after scoring the 1st goal in Canada's 2-0 opening match win over Trinidad and Tobago. (Per article at http://www.canadasoccer.com/canada-opens-papua-new-guinea-journey-with-three-points-p158928 .)
(Highlight of her goal goes quickly by at ~ the 20 second mark of this highlight video- .)

(Also of note- per http://www.concacaf.com/category/under-20s-women/game-detail/254095 , looks like newest 2016 Buff verbal commitment Camilla Shymka saw a little playing time, substituting in in the 81st minute.)
 
Replays of her 2 goals so far this Championship. (Beautiful bending free kick for the goal yesterday against Jamaica.)


 
Canada finished second to the US in the tourney and has qualified for the Women's U-20 World Cup next November in Papua New Guinea.
There's speculation on some soccer message boards that collegiate players who want to play for their respective national teams will take a redshirt next fall. Hope that's not the case for our two Canadians.
