YORKTON - The Sacred Heart girls' soccer team has won a bronze medal.
In the regional playoff game, the girls played Moose Jaw Central and won the game 5-0 to advance to provincials.
Against MJ Central Sacred Heart goal scorers were Sophie Smith with three goals and Angela Fetsch with two.
“Entering provincials, we knew that we were going to have to work hard, but we had strong faith that we could win our first game if we played hard enough,” reported Samantha Jonassen.
In a game against Luther the Regina team was winning 1-0 at half, and then in the second half they were up 2-0.
Then Fetsch had a free kick outside of the 18-yard box, and “she scored such a beautiful goal,” said Jonassen.
This left the game with a score of 2-1 with about seven minutes left.
“The amount of heart that was left on that field from the girls was unbelievable to watch, and it made the coaches really proud,” said Jonassen.
Unfortunately, the girls lost this first provincial game with a score of 2-1 against Regina Luther.
“The girls left their defeat on the field and came out with just as much energy and heart in their bronze medal game on Saturday,” said Jonassen.
The girls started the game with a 5-0 lead at half against Chief John Keenatch, and the game ended with a score of 6-5.
Fetsch scored five of the goals, and Keisha Quinto scored one.
“It was really intense, but the girls did not stop fighting until that final whistle blew,” said Jonassen.
