Cornwall's Christina Julien and Canada's women's soccer team are heading to the 2012 Summer Olympics. Christine Sinclair scored two goals last night to post a 3-1 victory over Mexico. Melissa Tancredi scored Canada's other goal and assisted on both of Sinclair's markers. Canada will join the top-ranked U.S. as the two CONCACAF representatives in the 12-team Olympic tournament in London. On her Twitter account, Julien wrote "Tonight my dreams came true. What an unbelievable experience. I love my team." (With files from The Canadian Press)
