The Chick Kickers OMG downed the first-place Do-Itt Drywall Mud Sharks 1-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 play Thursday night at Marshall Field #2.
The Mud Sharks (7-1-1) controlled the majority of possession despite having nine players.
Wendy Nadeau made several huge saves for OMG (2-8-1), and looked much like Mexico’s keeper, Guillermo Ochoa.
The Drywall were hanging tough all game until the ageless midfielder Monica Holubowski booted a long, high ball into the top corner of the net in the second half.
Sistas cream Centreline
The OTC/Sunterra Sistas stifled the Centerline Attack 9-0 at Marshall Field #4.
The Sistas (7-1-1) were led by Cassandra Otto’s two goals and two helpers, while Diane Neudorf and Marisa Wiebe each sniped a pair and singles went to Carmen Kinniburgh, Andrea Zubot and Nicole Williams.
Neudorf and Crystal Flasch shared the keeping duties.
Jody Townshend and Mandy Erwin consistently played solid the entire game for the Attack (1-8).Outside fullback Jackie Cote had some tough lines drives to contend with, yet managed to keep the ball to the outside and proved a formidable barrier on defence.
Other scores from around Division 2 did not get submitted.
