'She has my back always': Ontario sisters reunite to play soccer at UPEI

There's an argument to be made that Veronica and Patrycia Kozak should play on opposing teams.

The sisters from Mississauga, Ont., 19 and 18 respectively, have been reunited at UPEI as soccer teammates now that Patrycia is in her first year while Veronica is entering second year.
