The Sacred Heart High School (SHHS) girls soccer team competed in a tournament at St. Mary High School in Prince Albert (P.A.) over the weekend. The Lady Saints won the B side by winning two games and losing one. Their record for the season is four wins one loss.
SHHS faced P.A. Carlton in their first game. P.A. proved to be too skilled and powerful, winning the game 3-0 to drop the Lady Saints to the B side.
In the second game Sacred Heart came up against John Paul 2 (JP2) from North Battleford. JP2 came out flying at the beginning of the game but Lady Saints keeper Raquel Hackman made some great saves early in the game to keep the game even.
The girls found their scoring touch with Rita Fetsch scoring four goals and Kaylee Ford scoring twice to clinch a 6-2 win.
Ford had an outstanding game. In addition to her two goals she made some beautiful set ups.
In the Lady Saints final game against Prince Albert Carlton 2, the Saints dominated from start to finish winning the game 5-1.
All team members contributed to the strong performance. The Lady Saints found some secondary scoring. In addition to Fetsch and Ford scoring again, singles were added by rookie Bryce Sherring, Hailey Richards, and Jenna Sahulka.
Two of the five goals were scored off of corners from Fetsch. Ford scored on the corner kick off her head and Jenna Sahulka scored on a lovely volley directly from the corner.
SHHS girls' soccer coach Jeanne Fetsch was pleased with her team's performance as the team has only had time for three practices this fall.
The team needs to improve on their transition play, converting more quickly from offense to defence and vice versa. They will also be focusing on ball control and improving their first touch passing.
The Saints next action will be this weekend in Moose Jaw where there will 16 of the top teams in the province at the annual Moose Jaw Soccerfest. The Lady Saints are hoping to finish in the top eight.
