The Martensville High School Girls Soccer team hosted the 4A Girls Soccer Regionals on Friday, October 20th on the Maddogs Field.
The first game took place at 9:30am where the MHS girls went up against John Paul II, with Martensville coming out on top with a score of 2-0. This earned them a spot to the final game, which took place at 3pm against Chief John Keenatch, which they won 2-0.
The October 20th win earned the MHS Girls a spot in the provincials this weekend in Regina, where they will play at 2pm on Friday, October 27th against Regina Luther and then will either play at 12:00pm on Saturday, October 28th for the bronze medal, or at 2pm for the gold medal.
“Last year, the girls won a silver medal at provincials, which was the first provincial soccer medal won in Martensville High School history,” Coach Breanne Cooper stated.
Cooper added, “We are fortunate to have Carryn Berk back for another season as our community coach as well as her son and former Royal, Jaymin Berk, helping out this year.”
The team consists of students in grade 9, 10 and 11, many of which are multi-sport athletes, and many who do not play club soccer outside of school. The majority of the grade 11 students have been a part of the team since grade 9, when the team consisted of all grade 9’s and one grade 12 student.
“It has been incredible to see this group of grade eleven’s really take on a leadership role on the team since they were in grade nine. This season we have seen huge improvements in the team’s skill level and ability to work together as a team,” Cooper said.
This year’s team consists of: Rhyan Ballard, Sophie Barkway, Chloe Bartel, Keira Cross, Kolby Desrosiers, Kalyn Jungman, Taiya Kachur, Tayler Loewen, Ainsley Murfin, Alexis Randall, Kloey Rosciski, Rhea Tillmanns, Jordyn Weiland, Avaree Zapisocki, Megan Hubbard, Aubree Ohryn, Julia Garchinski , Katie Halbach, Sierra Hoobonoff, Alex Macdonald, Isla Stoddart-Reis, Elle Bourret, Ava Cross, Alexis Simonot, Kalenna Klisowsky, Myro Anisimova, Hannah Cawley and Madeline MacRoberts.
