It is no surprise that after a high school season that saw the Sacred Heart Lady Saints win 2A Provincial gold that the Yorkton United Football Club's Under 18/16 team would have a good chance of repeating the city's success when the indoor club soccer season started this November. The Yorkton United girls did just that, winning their first two tournaments of the season in November.
The Yorkton United Under 18/16 Girls team attended the Regina Breakaway tournament in Regina for their first action of the season. In the first round robin game the girls played Regina Unidad. This was the first game of the season but the girls picked right up from where they left off from the outdoor season and came away with a well earned 6-0 victory. Edie Schramm recorded the shutout with strong defensive support from the entire team. Rita Fetsch led the scoring with 5 goals and Kendra Varjassy adding 1. The second game of the round robin was against a team from Brandon. Once again the Yorkton girls proved too strong with a 8-0 victory. Rita Fetsch once again led the scoring with 5 goals, with Breanne Malinowski, Allison Berge and Kendra Varjassy each adding singles. Edie Schramm recorded the shutout. The 2 victories put the Yorkton girls in the final against the semi-final winner, Regina Unidad. This game was over quickly with Yorkton providing too much fire power and great defensive play. Yorkton claimed the gold medal with a 9-0 win. Allison Berge, Breanne Gelowitz and Darrian Desjarlais scored single goals with Kendra Varjassy adding 2 goals and Rita Fetsch 4 goals. Once again Edie Schramm recorded the shutout with strong contributions from all members of the team.
The following weekend saw the team participate in the Saskatoon Breakaway tournament. The first round robin game was against Saskatoon Aurora. Yorkton scored early and often in this game, with a final score of 11-0. Rita Fetsch led the scoring with 5 goals, Kendra Varjassy added a hat trick and singles were scored by Megan Flunder, Amitada Chogata and Allison Berge. Edie Schramm recorded her fourth straight shutout of the season. The next game was against a familiar opponent, Humboldt. Once again the Yorkton girls dominated play and recorded a 8-0 victory. Edie Schramm recorded here fifth straight shutout and Rita Fetsch led the scoring with three goals, and Megan Flunder, Amitada Chogata, Roma Zulyniak, Taryn Kustra and Kendra Varjassy all recording single goals. Once again Yorkton finished in first place in the round robin and advanced to play Humboldt in a rematch in the final. Yorkton claimed gold with a 7-1 win. Goals were scored by Rita Fetsch with 3, Megan Flunder, Allison Berge, Kendra Varjassy and Taryn Kustra with one each.
