After turning heads at the University of Memphis, Canadian forward Clarissa Larisey is jumping straight into the professional game.
When the NCAA season came to a close, the Ottawa, Ontario native wanted to start playing professionally “sooner rather than later,” and with the Úrvalsdeild kvenna (the top women’s soccer league in Iceland) season beginning this month, she packed her bags and headed to Reykjavík.
She announced on May 5 that she had signed with the country’s top club, Valur, where she made her debut on Wednesday. After a seven-day quarantine period in Iceland, and a few weeks of training, she started for the reigning title-holders, playing the first 64 minutes in a 4-2 win over ÍBV.
Blues Visit Relegated Swindon Aiming to Finally End Goal Drought
Friday, 30th Apr 2021 14:03
Town travel to Swindon for the first of three meaningless end-of-season games aiming to end their goal drought as it moves towards a club record.
The Blues, whose play-off push ground to a halt during April and who dropped to 12th following the midweek games, have now gone 619 minutes, more than six matches and in excess of 10 hours, without a goal.
If they fail to score against the Robins - who have conceded 84 times this season, more than anyone else in League One by eight goals - and then in the opening five minutes at Shrewsbury on Tuesday, they’ll surpass the club record 714 minutes from the 1994/95 Premier League relegation campaign.
