By Kerissa Van Amersfoort At the beginning of the U-15 girls soccer season, the coaches (Kerissa Van Amersfoort and John Uyl) asked the girls what their goal was for the season. They all said they wanted to win the final in the year-end tournament. The girls knew they had their work cut out for them. After season play, the girls finished with a positive outlook moving into the tournament coming away with only two wins in regular season but knowing that they had improved and could come away with many more wins. The first game into the tournament, Blyth met up with the St. Columban II team. Being a little nervous going into playoffs they played the whole game with 110 per cent effort. Blyth came away with an easily-handled 6-3 win with goals scored by Jory-Lynn Uyl, Laura Youngblut and Aryn Kikkert and assists going to Kikkert, Uyl and Brittany Bos. The second game of the tournament was played against the Lucknow II team. Having played the night before and coming away with a huge win, the girls had a lot of fire under them and were keen to play a more difficult team. The girls had not met this team yet in regular season so they did not know what to expect. They took this to their advantage and played an excellent game. Although the teams were very close in calibre, Blyth pushed through and a goal was scored by. Uyl, assisted by Youngblut and Kikkert to make the final score 1-0, guaranteeing them a spot in the semi-finals. They were one step closer to their goal. The third game in round-robin play was played against the Wingham team. During regular season, Blyth came away with a 6-2 win, but knew they could not slack because Wingham had improved. This game would determine which place they would be going into the semi-finals, first or second. Wingham scored early in the first half, but the girls came back to tie it. Wingham proceeded to put on the pressure scoring one more. Late in the first half, Blyth pulled it together scoring one more to make it an even game 2-2. Goals were scored by Kikkert and Uyl, with an assist going to Kikkeit. The second half had no goals which meant that the girls had to experience their first-ever shootout with five shooters each. After the shootout, Blyth lost 3-0 putting them in second place going into semi-finals, which meant that they had to play the defending champions and a team that they had not yet beaten during regular season, St. Columban I. Knowing what they had to do, the girls played with more heart this game than they ever had all season. St. Columban came out with an early 1-0 lead and doubled their score by the end of the first half. Having an in-depth conversation during halftime and being down by two, the girls went into the second half with nothing to lose and playing better than ever. Uyl scored early in the second half making the score 2-1, with the assist going to Hannah Uyl. With many opportunities and an injury to Bos, Blyth kept pushing through. Very late in the second half, Bos begged to be put back on the field. Once there, she was determined to get a goal, and that she did with less than a minute left in the game with the assist coming from J. Uyl and Kikkert, making the score 2-2 and resulting in a shootout. Having bad luck in the previous game with a shootout, the girls were very nervous. After all, this was the game they had to win to mom on to the finals. Bos, the first shooter, put it in the corner. J. Uyl was second shooter but the goalie, was quick and saved her shot. H. Uyl was the third and once again, the goalie was too quick. Youngblut was the fourth shooter and put it in making it a tied game after the fourth shooters. Danielle Bean, the fifth and last shooter, put it in. This was it, next shot would make all the difference, and that it did. Chantel Warwick saved St. Columban's last shot which gave Blyth the win and they were moving on to the finals. Warwick saved one penalty shot in regular time during this game and three of them in the shootout. In the final game of a successful season, Blyth was to play Clinton in the finals. They had also lost to Clinton in the regular season, but the girls had already proven to themselves that it didn't matter. Right now was what counted. Once again, playing with more heart than anyone else on the field, the girls played an outstanding game. Blyth came away with an early lead in the first half, 2-0 with goals scored by Bos on a free kick from about 30 yards out and J. Uyl from Bos on a corner kick. The score stayed this way for the remainder of the game. Blyth U-15 girls scored their goal. They won the finals. As the coach, it was a privilege coaching a team with so much chemistry and heart. It is not very often you find a team like this who goes into every game with a positive attitude no matter who it is you are meeting up with. I was asked by someone, that if I were to give out an MVP award, who would I give it to? Honestly, there is not one person who did not deserve an MVP award, because they all worked together to attain the goal. They are all most valuable players and deserved this 100 per cent. They worked hard all season, and I knew that this is what they can achieve and they did. Although this is only my second year coaching soccer, I have never had so many compliments on a team. The girls have no idea how awesome it was to be their coach this season. Congratulations and thanks for a great season ladies!
