Christine Sinclair doubled Canadas lead in the 52nd minute when Rose played her in behind the defense for a near-post finish from just outside the six-yard box.?Allysha Chapman made history as the LSU programs first Olympic medalist.?She made her return to the pitch against Brazil as a second-half defensive substitute after being forced to sit out Canadas semifinal defeat to Germany with a shoulder injury.

DAngelo was drafted 21st by the NWSLs Western New York Flash in 2015 after leading the Gamecocks to the NCAA Tournament in three of her four seasons at South Carolina.With the three former SEC athletes helping their country defend its Olympic bronze medal on the soccer field, it marked just the second time in the history of the modern Olympic Games that Canada has won back-to-back medals in a team summer sport as it last did so in lacrosse in St. Louis in 1904 and London in 1908.
