Sweden got on the board first scoring in the 34th minute and would take a 1-0 lead into the half before Sweden equalized in the 67th minute via a penalty kick. Following extra time, Sweden held a 2-1 lead in penalties but would go on to miss its final three shots as Canada converted its final two for the win.
Roddar spent her freshman season at Wisconsin before joining the Green and Blue in 2012. In her three-year stretch with the Eagles, she started in all 62 matches she appeared in, netting four goals with 10 assists. FGCU went 21-1-3 in ASUN play after Roddar's arrival with three ASUN regular-season championships, two ASUN Tournament titles, and two NCAA Tournament berths.
The Falun, Sweden native is also a current member of the Washington Spirit out of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).
Roddar became FGCU's ninth overall Olympian to represent the Green and Blue this summer and was one of two Eagles featured in this year's games. Current FGCU swimmer, Petra Halmai, helped her Hungarian squad post a national record in the mixed 4x100 medley relay last month.

COACH JIM BLANKENSHIP
A veteran of over two decades in collegiate coaching, head coach Jim Blankenship, who was named the ASUN Coach of the Year in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2019, has built FGCU women's soccer into a yearly contender in the ASUN Conference and a rising program in the South Region in just 13 seasons. Blankenship started the program in 2007 and has since guided the Eagles to 13 double-digit win seasons, culminating with ASUN Regular Season Championships in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019. In 2011 and 2012 he also led the Eagles to back-to-back ASUN Tournament titles as they became the first team in the history of the university to make it to the NCAA Tournament. The Eagles went on to win the 2014 ASUN Tournament and hosted the first NCAA Championship event on campus. The Eagles earned their fourth NCAA Tournament appearance with the 2015 ASUN Tournament Championship and won their first NCAA game at USF in 2015 while finishing 24th in the nation. In 2016, the Eagles made it three-consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament with a third-straight ASUN Tournament title. A year later, the Eagles became the first ASUN women's soccer program to make four-straight NCAA Tournaments with another tournament title in 2017. Blankenship has guided FGCU to a 174-62-27 (.711) overall record through the first 13 seasons of the program's existence, including an 86-17-15 (.801) mark in the ASUN. Blankenship's impressive career record of 414-133-38 (.740) over 26 seasons has come while leading FGCU, the University of Miami, Lynn University and St. Thomas University.
