Ascension Girls take Provincial Silver Medal !
The Ascension Astros Girls' soccer team were
recent silver medal winners at their first ever Provincial
tournament in Torbay the weekend of Oct 16-18! The team defeated
Carbonear Collegiate in Regional competition to advance to
provincials.
In round -robin play, the Astros lost to Holy Trinity, Torbay in a
closely-contested game, 3-2. Their second game saw them prevail
over Gander Collegiate in a 4-2 score. In an unusual twist,
Saturday's games were not actually played, because of the sodden
condition of the field, the referee instead going with decisions
based on goal shootouts. In their third game, Ascension came out
ahead of defending champion Menihek high, Labrador City, 2-0. In
the crossover, the score was 4-2 in favor of Ascension against
Stephenville High, again in a goal shootout.The championship game
was played on Sunday morning in cool, wet conditions. The
Ascension girls gave their best effort, losing in a close 2-0 game
to Menihek. Goaltendeing was outstanding; Caitlin Vokey and Katie
Harringtom sharing play.
Goal scorers for Ascension were: Kelsey Smith-4 goals
Andrea Neil-2
Hilary Mercer-2
Kendra Nippard-1
Jessica Wheaton-1
Carly Norman-1
April Yetman-1
Special recognition goes to Katie Harrington, who was awarded the"
Sportmanship Award" for her team by the tournament committee.
Thanks also to coaches Lisa Penney, Trudy Pike, team manager
Maureen Robinson and chaperone Anna Norman.
