"I feel like there's been a bit of nerves," said forward Adriana Leon, whose passage to Paris is assured as the third-leading scorer among Canadian women all-time with 40 goals."I think that's expected with what's around the corner and it being the last camp heading into Paris. So there's been a bit of nerves and a bit of extra energy, excitement as well. Everyone's always happy to play at home.
Priestman fielded a strong roster in Montreal that included 19-year-old forward Olivia Smith, who won her ninth cap in her second start. The coach says she will make some changes to her roster Tuesday"but not wholesale changes."
