The Coastal FC U-17 girls can now call themselves national champions.
The girls beat Quebec 2-1 in the final match Monday afternoon in the Canadian National Championships, held in South Surrey.
Coastal was up 2-0 by the second half, letting in one goal in the second but maintained the lead until end of the match.
Surrey-based BC Tigers Hurricanes also won the Challenge Cup for national soccer supremacy Monday.
In Saskatoon, the Hurricanes earned a 7-3 victory over a team from Ontario.
It was the first time in 14 years that a B.C.-based team won the title, following Surrey Pegasus’ victory in 2004.
