Melissa Tancredi back with women’s soccer team for friendly against U.S.
Canada has named its team for a women’s soccer friendly against the United States and as expected veterans play a major role.
Striker Melissa Tancredi returns for the first time since the 2012 Olympics and joins 13 other members of that bronze-winning team.
The June 2 sellout game at BMO Field in Toronto will effectively be a rematch of the semifinal loss to the United States that kept Canada out of the gold-medal game.
Coach John Herdman says it was important to blend youth and experience, but the weight seems to be on the experience side.
The United States has also announced its roster and Carli Lloyd will be rejoining the team for the first time since breaking her shoulder in March.
