Former Ohio State Soccer Player Nichelle Prince Scores First Women's World Cup Goal, Adds Assist in Canada's 2-0 Victory over New Zealand

Nichelle Prince had a big day at the Women's World Cup on Saturday.

The former Ohio State soccer player scored her first-ever World Cup goal, which you can see in the video above, and also had an assist in Canada's 2-0 win over New Zealand.

Prince set up Canada's first goal of the game with a run and a pass to Jessie Fleming, who finished the pass with a shot into the net to put the Canadian team on the board first early in the second half.

Prince knocked in a shot off an unsuccessful header by Christine Sinclair to put Canada up 2-0 in the 78th minute, effectively putting the game away, for her first goal in just her second Women's World Cup game.
