Glengarry soccer star nets best first-half chance for Canada against Russia

Playing in Cyprus today for Team Canada, Williamstown's Christina Julien netted her country's best scoring chance of the opening half of play against Russia.

The 20-year-old started the play off, booting the ball upfield for Kelly Parker, who in turn got past a Russian defender and sent the ball on to Julien who fired it just wide of the mark and into the side netting.

After a scoreless first half, counted a pair of markers in the second period, beating Russia 2-0 and earning a berth in the Cyprus Cup championship match to be played March 12.
