One of our athletes, Shannon Woeller, who plays NCAA Soccer for Rutgers also plays on the Womens’s National Team.
She emailed me this photo and said: ‘Thought you guys might find this picture kind of cool. I was at a tournament with the national team in Brazil last month and I got to start my first ever game with the full team. We tied Brazil 0-0 and they are number 3 in the world. The Brazilian in the picture is Marta, she is the top striker in the world and has been FIFA player of the year the last few years.’

Shannon Woeller, who plays soccer for Rutgers University and our Canadian Womens National Team, begins a quest for the NCAA title next weekend. Rutgers finished the season ranked #9 in the country and although they have injuries to 5 starters are confident they have a shot. Good luck Shannon
