The Mid-Isle Soccer Club’s U13 Girls Highlanders finished third in a prestigious soccer tournament this past weekend.
Two victories on Sunday, March 16 gave the Highlanders a third-place finish in the Surrey Mayor’s Cup.
“The girls played very well, we had some bad luck on Saturday but bounced back to get two great results on Sunday,” Mid-Isle coach Kathleen Nicholls said in an e-mail.
“This team has been developing well over the course of the season, both as a group and as individual players, and that really showed through this weekend.”
The girls finished with seven points after two wins, one loss and one shootout loss.
The Surrey Mayor’s Cup is B.C.’s premier youth soccer showcase tournament, open to all Canadian and American soccer Clubs. This year, more than 200 teams competed in all divisions of the three-day competition.
