KU soccer to face Canadian nationals

Kansas University’s soccer team will face the Canadian national team Thursday at Hummer Sports Park in Topeka. Match time is 3 p.m., and admission is free.

Team Canada is in the midst of a four-city, five-match exhibition tour of NCAA teams. Canada beat Purdue, 6-1, and Louisville, 9-0, and was to face Missouri on Tuesday.

“This will be a great experience to see how our players compete against a great team like Team Canada,” KU coach Mark Francis said. “The spring is used to develop your players and this will be a good game to do just that.”
