The Shuswap Sharp Shooters U12 girl’s development team brushed off Vernon 4-0 last Sunday at Marshall Fields in Vernon.
Shuswap took control of the game quickly with an early finish from Jordan King.
Lys Milne passed the ball to King, who cut past a Vernon defender and slotted the ball inside the near post with a well-placed, left-footed effort.
Although most of the play took place in Shuswap’s attacking third, the score was 1-0 at half, thanks to stingy defending from Vernon.
Shuswap continued to apply pressure and their swift passing opened up the game in the second half.
The second goal of the game came on a set piece when Laura Hall delivered a well-placed corner kick into the box.
The Sharp Shooters’ Brooklyn Davidson received the ball with a one-touch pass to Sophia Ruckle, who buried it in the back of the net.
Milne displayed excellent composure when she found the back of the net after a scuffle in front of the Vernon goal making it 3-0.
King finished off the scoring for Shuswap, when she buried the ball with her left foot making it 4-0.
Alana O’Dell recorded the assist.
Julia Hart and Braidy Parkes were both stellar in goal and shared the shutout.
