It was a good start to the season for the Squamish United U-11 Girls travel squad.
The team kicked off its season at the 30th annual Chilliwack Youth Soccer Tournament this past weekend and placed second after losing 3-2 in overtime to the host Chilliwack team.
The two-day tournament saw Squamish defeat Williams Lake on Saturday (Aug. 23) and a Chilliwack squad on Saturday before losing to another Chilliwack team on Sunday (Aug. 24). However, Squamish advanced to the final based on accumulating the second most points to meet the same Chilliwack team that had defeated them.
Chilliwack and Squamish were locked in a 2-2 tie during the final but Chilliwack scored a goal in the dying minutes to pick up the 3-2 win.
Most valuable player awards were doled out to: Elly Hoskin, Piper Savjord and Carly Ellis. The team roster includes Lily Boucher, Lynette Conn, Rhea Doyle, Carly Ellis, Elly Hoskin, Evelyn Jordan, Ava Kleban, Kelsey McCandlish, Lucy McKeen, Katelyn Muller, Emma Perkins, Piper Savjord, Manroop Shergill and Genoa Van Oostwaard.
The team’s head coach is Rob Perkins, the assistant coaches are Nicole Hoskin and Chris Doyle and team manager is Stacy Spencer.
