WVU soccer players headed to Rio Olympics

While, currently, that home is West Virginia and the WVU soccer program, this talented tandem will soon be playing for something much bigger than themselves. Buchanan and Lawrence have been nominated to play for the Canadian National team at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

This great honor is nothing new for Buchanan and Lawrence as they have already been members of the Canadian National team for a few years, now.

The tandem helped out Canada in last year’s World Cup and Buchanan made a name for himself on the worldwide stage as she was named the tournament’s Best Young Player.
