Canada on Sunday got a measure of revenge for its overtime loss in the FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship final two years ago, toppling the United States in overtime in the CONCACAF under-19 title game.

Josee Belanger's 118th-minute goal gave the Canadians a 2-1 triumph before 3,300 at Frank Clair Stadium in Ottawa, handing U.S. Soccer its first competitive loss at the U-19 level.

Both sides had qualified for the second FIFA championship, Nov. 10-27 in Thailand, with resounding semifinal victories. The United States won the first edition, beating Canada on Lindsay Tarpley's golden-goal strike before nearly 50,000 fans in Edmonton.

Seven players from the 2002 U.S. and Canadian rosters played on Sunday: goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris, defender Rachel Buehler and forwards Kerri Hanks and Angie Woznuk for the Americans, and midfielders Kara Lang, Katie Thorlakson and Brittany Timko for the Canadians.

Lang and Timko were starters for Canada at the 2002 Women's World Cup.

''It is disappointing, of course, because I thought our players put in the effort and came away with some opportunities,'' U.S. coach Mark Krikorian said. ''In the end, though, we had a couple breakdowns and give credit to Canada for taking advantage of them. WeÆll go back to the drawing board and continue to work to improve and prepare for the World Championship during the upcoming months.''

Aysha Jamani's fifth goal of the CONCACAF tournament gave Canada an early lead, and Golden Boot winner Kerri Hanks netted her ninth goal to pull the Americans even just before halftime.

Canada outshot the U.S. women, 14-8, forcing Harris to make seven saves.

''ItÆs great to win against the Americans at the U-19 level,'' Canada coach Ian Bridge said. ''Long term, itÆs important that we will be one of the seeded teams in our group in Thailand and can avoid some of the top teams (in group play).ö

Canadian defender Emily Zurrer, a University of Illinois recruit, was selected Most Valuable Player, and University of Indiana standout Stacy VanBoxmeer was chosen the tournament's top goalkeeper after allowing just one goal — Hanks' — in five matches.

Jamani, bound for the University of Nebraska in 2005, fired Canada ahead in the third minute. Harris, bound for the University of North Carolina, parried two corner kicks in sequence, with Thorlakson running down the ball following the second and feeding Jamani in front of the net. University of Texas recruit Stephanie Logterman saved the shot on the goal line, but it bounced back to Jamani, who slotted home the rebound.

Woznuk, a University of Portland sophomore, soon took charge in midfield, but VanBoxmeer was expert in cutting off through balls for forwards Hanks ad Sheree Gray. Hanks finally connected in the 42nd minute, firing the ball off a defender after Gray nutmegged VanBoxmeer but hit the post.

Both teams created chances in the second half — Harris made a tremendous stop on Lang after Belanger intercepted a poor backpass in the 56th minute.

Belanger's OT winner came from a header off a 30-yard free kick by Lang.

Costa Rica finished third, beating Mexico, 4-3, rallying with goals by Miriam Montes in the 80th minute and Laura Sanchez in the 83rd.
