Houston Dash forward Nichelle Prince capped an impactful day as Canada defeated New Zealand in their second game to qualify for the knockout rounds of the World Cup.
In her first FIFA World Cup and second start in the tournament, the forward recorded a goal and an assist. Canada took the lead in the first half when Prince made a breakaway run down the left wing, dribbled into the box and passed the ball to teammate Jessie Fleming who struck the ball into the bottom-right corner of the goal.
