This article is going live as the Republic of Ireland faces Canada at the Women’s World Cup (on FS1) and two former Syracuse Orange goalkeepers will be on opposite sides.
Courtney Brosnan will make her 2nd start in net for Ireland. She lost 1-0 to Australia in the opener, beaten only on a penalty kick in her World Cup debut. Brosnan will be earning her 25th cap with the Irish squad and she’s got 10 clean sheets in her international career.
Lysianne Proulx made the roster for Canada and while she isn’t expected to play, it’s still a great sign for the Orange program to send two players to the World Cup.
