WVU soccer players earn bronze medals

They’ve also made waves at the international level and that has continued at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Buchanan and Lawrence represented their home country of Canada and helped the red and white earn a bronze medal.

In the third place game of this year’s Olympic games, Canada beat out host-Brazil by a score of 2-1. This was the second-consecutive bronze medal for Canada, as it also finished third in the world at the 2012 London Olympics.

Buchanan and Lawrence showed their strength and versatility in the victory by playing all 90 minutes against Brazil. To put up that kind of effort, as true visitors, is astounding.
