Quinn's sole goal wins the inaugural NSL match for Vancouver Rise FC! 🤩⁣ •⁣ History was made on Wednesday night when the inaugural NSL match was played at BC Place in Vancouver between Vancouver Rise FC and the Calgary Wild. We love to see it. 🇨🇦⁣ •⁣ Canadian midfielder Quinn scored on a penalty in the 22nd minute to lead Vancouver to the first win in NSL history, right at home in front of 14,018 fans. 🏟️ ⁣ •⁣ "I think I've been in some really big games, and so I thought, ‘Oh, yeah, this will be easy to handle,'" Quinn said. "But then definitely stepping on to the pitch, and seeing (league co-founder) Diana Matheson and (Canadian soccer legend) Christine Sinclair with the ball, and just kind of sinking in how much work's been done to get to this moment, I think I just took that time." 🥹⁣ •⁣ The NSL now shifts to BMO Field in Toronto, where AFC Toronto will host Montreal Roses FC on Saturday, April 19. WE WILL BE SEATED. 🍿 #thegist ⁣ •⁣ (c/o tsn_official)⁣ •⁣ #womenssports #soccer...
