There was an aggression to her game from the opening whistle, putting the Canadian players under constant pressure and making it difficult for the offense to create any chances in transition.

It is easy to overlook the hard work required to control the middle third of the field. However, Horan was difficult to ignore as she imposed her will on the opponent, disrupting the attack’s rhythm and muting Canada’s gameplan.
