And could she possibly challenge Kristine Lilly’s record for most international appearances in soccer history?
Canada's national women's soccer team return to action next month at the SheBelieves Cup after nearly a year idling on the sidelines because of the COVID-19 pandemic with new head coach Bev Priestman naming her first squad on Monday.
