Kailen Sheridan & Julia Grosso

Canadians Kailen Sheridan and Julia Grosso were both winners of top distinction awards as a result of their standout performances throughout the 2022 Concacaf W Championship in Monterrey, Mexico. Sheridan won the Best Goalkeeper Award while Grosso won the Top Goal Scorer Award. Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team, meanwhile, took home the Scotiabank Fair Play Award in recognition of the exemplary behavior that promoted the spirit of fair play and compassion.

Sheridan was named Best Goalkeeper after finishing the tournament with three clean sheets and made seven saves in four matches with just one goal conceded. She played four matches including the Final against rivals USA which ultimately ended her streak of 348 minutes without a goal until the American Alex Morgan scored the 1:0 winner on a penalty.

Grosso took home the title of Top Goal Scorer by scoring three goals in Canada’s run to the Final. She scored twice in a 6:0 win against Trinidad and Tobago and scored her most important goal in the 1:0 win over Panama to secure Canada’s spot at the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023. Throughout the championship, Grosso played a total of 173 minutes.

This marks back-to-back Concacaf Women’s National Team tournaments in which Canadians have collected awards. At the 2020 Concacaf Women’s Olympic Qualifying, Stephanie Labbé was awarded the Golden Glove award after registering three clean sheets in four matches. Jordyn Huitema, meanwhile, took home Golden Boot honours with the seven goals, including five in the 9:0 group stage win over Jamaica.

Also honoured this year at the 2022 Concacaf W Championship, four Canadians were named to the tournament All-Star Team: Sheridan, Grosso, Vanessa Gilles and Jessie Fleming. From recent Concacaf tournaments, Labbé, Huitema, Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence were named All-Stars at the 2020 Concacaf Women’s Olympic Qualifying while both Fleming and Quinn were named to the All-Star Team at the 2018 Concacaf Women’s Championship.
