The Shuswap FC U14 girls soccer team is now settling nicely into their season and had some great success over the past few weeks.
Two weekends ago the team lost a hard fought battle 2-1 against a strong Kelowna team.
Maria Ruiz-White came up with Shuswap’s lone goal, finding the back of the net from a well-placed corner kick from mid-fielder Phoebe Barnes.
This past weekend the team was very successful with back to back wins. Shuswap fared very well against Revelstoke on Saturday with keepers Julia Hart and Braidy Parkes coming through with the shut-out victory.
On Sunday morning, Shuswap found themselves up against a challenging Vernon team.
After a back-and-forth first half, the teams were level at one. At the restart, Shuswap came out incredibly strong as the cruised to a 3-1 win. The weekend’s games came with 15 goals in total for the Shuswap team all due to some well-executed team work and skill from all players.
Their next game is Sunday, May 8 when the team travels to Penticton with the expectations of another challenging match against the Pinnacles FC.
