Beckie’s goal lifts
Canada to 1-0 win
MONTREAL — Texas Tech soccer player Janine Beckie knocked home a goal in the 65th minute Tuesday night, lifting Canada past North Korea 1-0 and into the quarterfinals of the FIFA under-20 World Cup.
Beckie was wide open near the far post after Amandine Pierre-Louis’ cross from the right side of the box sailed over the North Korean defense. Her goal, in front of a home crowd of more than 13,000 at Olympic Stadium, lifted Canada past the pool-play portion of the tournament.
