U17 Sarnia Spirit won the
LDYL Indoor Soccer Challenge
Indoor Cup in the U18 Soccer
Division at BMO Centre in
London.
The Sarnia Spirit U17's made
it to the final of the U18
playoff challenge cup after
defeating Stratford in a
penalty shootout the week
previously 2 - 1.
On Sunday, the Spirit
defeated Byron Blaze 2 - 1
in a thrilling tactical
final. Kristy Hodgins led
the team to victory scoring
both goals. Defensively the
team shut down Byron's high
offense which had scored
more than one hundred goals
in 18 league games. Cassidy
Edlington was solid in net
in the win.
The Spirit now are focusing
on the outdoor game which
began this week with
training Tuesday and
Thursday and an exhibition
game this Sunday at 1.00 pm
versus Mississauga Dixie U18
Team which plays in the OYSL.
(Note: The venue for the
game is at the Sarnia Girls
Soccer Club but may be
changed.)
The Sarnia Spirit are
playing in the Top Division
in Ontario, the OYSL, which
begins Saturday, May 9th
with a game versus Oshawa
and on Sunday, May 10th
versus Darlington, last
season's U16 Canadian
National Champions.
In July, the team is entered
in the New York Cup, one of
the premier tournaments in
the USA. There are over 300
University Coaches at the
event.
