National team

Prince at the U-17 World Cup against North Korea

At the age of 15, Prince was accepted into the Canadian youth program, played her first international match for the Canadian U-17 women on May 2, 2012 as part of the CONCACAF U-17 championship and scored 6-0 against Panama in the 6th minute the first gate. The Canadians reached the final unbeaten, and Prince taxed another goal against Jamaica. This qualified them for the 2012 U-17 Women's World Cup. But they lost the final against the USA with 0: 1. At the World Cup, she did not score in the group stage, but reached the quarter-finals against North Korea with her team undefeated in second place in the group. In this they kept the 0-0 up to the 78th minute, but then conceded two goals. Your connection goal in stoppage time came too late.

In December 2012, Prince received an invitation to a training camp for the senior national team and took part in the Four Nations Tournament 2013 in the People's Republic of China in January 2013 , in which the Canadians came second. In the three games she only made short appearances of 25 minutes in total, but scored the goal to make it 3-1 in a 3-1 draw against South Korea one minute after being substituted on, and thus her first international goal. After that she had to wait 35 months for her next appearance in the senior national team.

In 2014 she took part with the U-20 team in the 2014 U-20 Women's World Cup in her home country. In the first game, a 0-1 defeat against Ghana, she was only brought on in the 60th minute, but could not turn the game around. In the second game against Finland, however, she was in the starting line-up. This time the Canadians were already 2-0 down after 21 minutes, but were able to turn the game around in the second half and Prince ensured the 3-2 win in the 80th minute. With a 1-0 win over North Korea, they were second in the group due to the better goal difference compared to the Ghanaians and reached the quarter-finals. Here they met the eventual world champions Germany and lost 2-0, although they were replaced after 16 minutes.

In May 2015 she was invited to a training camp for the senior national team in preparation for the home World Cup , but was not nominated for the World Cup. She was also in the provisional squad of the U-23 team for the Pan American Games in 2015 , but was ultimately not considered.

In December 2015, Prince was nominated again for the senior national team and took part in the four-nation tournament in Brazil , in which the Canadians came second. In the first game against Mexico in stoppage time of the first half, she scored the goal to make it 3-0. She was also able to contribute a goal in the 4-0 win against Trinidad & Tobago in the second game, in which she was only substituted on in the second half. In the two games that were lost 1: 2 and 1: 3 against Brazil , she was then without a goal. She was also part of the squad for the qualifying tournament for the 2016 Summer Olympics . She was used in two group matches and scored three goals in the 10-0 win against Guatemala . In the 3-1 semi-final against Costa Rica , she was substituted on in the 82nd minute and four minutes later prepared the goal for the 3-1 final score. The Canadians had thus qualified for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro . But they then lost the final against the USA 2-0, and one minute after conceding the second goal they were replaced by record goal scorer and record player Christine Sinclair . At the beginning of March she took part in the Algarve Cup 2016 , which the Canadians won. However, she only came to two short appearances in the group games. In the following friendly games against the Netherlands and Brazil in April and June , she only made short appearances.

On June 25th she was nominated for the roster for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro . There she was used in the group matches against Zimbabwe and Germany as well as in the semifinals against Germany. In March 2017, she took part in the Algarve Cup again with Canada . But the Canadians could not defend the title in the final against Spain .

At the CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup 2018 , she scored both goals to a 2-0 win in her first game against Jamaica . She scored another goal in the 3-1 win in the last group game against Costa Rica. It also made it to the semi-finals, where the Canadians qualified for the 2019 World Cup by beating Panama 7-0 and in the final, lost 2-0 to the USA.

On May 25, 2019, she was nominated for the 2019 World Cup . It was used in two group games of the Canadians and in the round of 16, who lost 0: 1 against the later third Swedes . In the game against New Zealand, she scored her first World Cup goal to make it 2-0.
