Huitema makes home debut for Canadian women's national team in 3-1 victory

Christine Sinclair had a goal and an assist and 16-year-old Vancouver Whitecaps FC Girls Elite BC Soccer REX forward Jordyn Huitema made her home debut for Canada’s women’s national team in a 3-1 win over Costa Rica on Thursday night in Winnipeg.

Jesse Fleming and Adriana Leon also found the back of the net for Canada.

Huitema, who replaced Sinclair in the 79th minute, looked lively in her third appearance with the women’s national team, creating two late opportunities.
