However, they were coming off a tie against France last week, a very strong result, and provided a good fight on a rain drenched pitch. After a rusty start, our players gained control and we were dormant in most of the game. We could not finish off our goal chances in the fist half and needed 80 minutes to score. During the last 10 minutes, we allowed Holland to dominate us and our decision making in the back four was not good. All in all, the tying Holland goal in added time was well deserved. Note Seventeen year old Sophie Schmidt of Abbotsford, BC played 90 minutes and earned her first cap with the senior team.
