[Empty Body] The goal, and Sinclair’s fiery celebration, seemed to open things up for Canada and they came out flying in the second half. “They made it difficult in the first half,” Sinclair told Curry. “To get one right before half put us in a great mood in the locker room and we knew we could just keep going.” After a goal from UCLA’s **Jessie Fleming** in the 47th minute, Sinclair scored her second of the game in the 49th minute to make it 3-0.
