Footy: Golden Hawks, GGs represented on U20 squad

Just a follow-up from last week: It will be Laurier midfielder Alyssa Lagonia (far right) and Ottawa defender Amanda Robinson (near right) playing on the Canadian U20 women's team for a four nations tournament in Chile.

Canada plays the Chileans today, followed by Mexico on Tuesday, New Zealand on Sept. 18 and Chile again on Sept. 20. Needless to say, it's nice a coup for the programs that coaches Barry MacLean and Steve Johnson respectively run at Laurier and Ottawa, both of which have been regular visitors to nationals over the years.

Our intrepid footy writer, Mr. Bucholtz (Ottawa used to hava CSL team named the Intrepid; behold, the wordplay) can likely add something a little less extemporaneous.
