The Canadian National Women’s Team continued its preparation for the upcoming Gold Cup by posting a 2-0 win over Australia in Vancouver Thursday night. Midfielder Isabelle Morneau of Longueuil, Quebec, scored both goals for Canada, her fifth and sixth of her international career in her 52nd game.
After a scoreless first half, it was two veterans who combined to give Canada their opening goal in the 62nd minute, as Amy Walsh on the right crossed to Isabelle Morneau in front and her side-footed volley from 12 yards found the far side of the net. Morneau scored her second of the game in the 84th minute, when a driven cross from 15-year-old Kara Lang on the right pinballed off two Australian players in front to fall to Morneau one-yard out who stabbed it into the net.
