Canada coach calls up Miami Hurricanes ‘keeper Melissa Dagenais for Brazil friendlies
Canada coach Bev Priestman has called up University of Miami goalkeeper Melissa Dagenais for women’s soccer friendlies against Brazil later this month.
The graduate student from Saint-Hubert, Que., recorded her 13th career shutout on Saturday in the Hurricanes’ scoreless draw with North Carolina State. Dagenais made three saves to up her career total to 249, fourth-best in program history.
Dagenais joins No. 1 Kailen Sheridan and fellow ‘keepersSabrina D’Angelo and Lysianne Proulx on Priestman’s 26-player roster for games Oct. 28 at Saputo Stadium in Montreal and Oct. 31 in Halifax at Wanderers Ground.
Brazil is ranked ninth in the world, one place above Olympic champion Canada. Both teams have qualified for the Paris Olympics.
