Janine Beckie’s goal after 20 seconds in the opener against Australia set the tone for wins over the world No. Deanne Rose of #CAN is the youngest goal scorer in women's #Olympics soccer tournament history (17 years, 170 days). “I’m so proud of our team and the resilience we showed,” Sinclair told CBC in a televised interview.
