Senior Soccer Stings Scorpions

21 April 2019Jim Ganley

As the rains began to fall last Thursday afternoon, the Senior Girls Soccer team managed to keep their soccer cleats on long enough – before racing off to catch planes, trains, busses, and automobiles to begin their four day Easter Break – to edge the Gulf Islands SS Scorpions 2-1 in league action. After conceding a goal in the opening minutes, the girls battled hard to play a possession game and were rewarded late in the first half with a 20 yard, in-off-the-post strike from rookie Danielle G which evened the score. Holding everything together were veterans Ashley D & Willemijn P, our Powell River twin towers, skillfully patrolling the backline and repelling the advances of several very talented opponents while Jocelyn L deftly directed the midfield on both defence and offense. Late in the game, Jensa NG managed to evade her check and run onto a beautifully placed through ball from Jocelyn to slot through our second goal of the game. The Senior and Junior Girls are in action this weekend, April 26 & 27, at the ISA Championships in Victoria. The Juniors open on Friday at GNS while the Seniors are at SMUS.
