DURHAM, N.C. – In a dream come true for Duke University junior Rebecca Quinn, the defender/midfielder was named to the Canada Women's Soccer National Team Monday that will represent their country at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Aug. 3-19.
Quinn, a native of Toronto, Canada, was one of 18 players selected Monday by the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) in which is a mix of fresh faces and long-time members.
Canada Soccer clinched a berth in the Olympics back in February and will look to build off a bronze medal-winning result from the 2012 Olympics in London. Canada will be competing in its third consecutive Olympic games.
Quinn is coming off a junior campaign at Duke where she started 20-of-23 matches on the season, while registering three goals. A Third Team All-ACC selection and NSCAA All-Region honoree, Quinn helped lead Duke to 14 shutouts on the year, which is the second-most in school history. The Blue Devils advanced to the NCAA Championship match before falling to Penn State, 1-0.
Canada's path to the podium will not be easy as they have landed in a group with world number two Germany, Australia (No. 5) and Zimbabwe (No. 95th). Canada is ranked No. 10 in the FIFA women's world football rankings and will open on August 3, 2016 in Sao Paulo at 2:00 p.m. (ET) against Australia.
Quinn took the spring of 2016 semester off of school to be with the Canada National Team in hopes of making the 2016 Olympic Team. With her selection, Quinn will be the second Blue Devil women's soccer standout to compete in the Olympics as Rebecca Smith competed with the New Zealand squad in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.
The full Canada team includes -- Stephanie Labbe, Sabrina D'Angelo, Kadeisha Buchanan, Quinn, Shelina Zadorsky, Josee Belanger, Allysha Chapman, Rhian Wilkinson, Jessie Fleming, Ashley Lawrence, Diana Matheson, Deanne Rose, Sophie Schmidt, Desiree Scott, Janine Beckie, Nichelle Prince, Christine Sinclair and Melissa Tancredi.
