Hamilton’s Melissa Tancredi sends Canadian Women’s Soccer team to 2012 London Olympics

#14 Melissa Tancredi
When Canadians watch the 2012 Olympic Games in London, they’ll be watching the Canadian women’s soccer team.  On Friday night at B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver, Team Canada qualified for their consecutive Olympic Games with a 3-1 win over Mexico.  Melissa Tancredi of Hamilton, Ontario scored the game winning goal.
Team Canada will be joined in the tournament by the United States who earlier on Friday defeated Costa Rica 3-0 in a shutout victory.

Tancredi and Team Canada will be looking for redemption at the 2012 Games. Four years ago at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Canada lost 2-1 to the United States in overtime in the quarterfinals.
The Canadian women take on the Americans tomorrow at 7pm on Rogers Sports Net.
