U18 South Huron #1 Aug. 16 SH 3 versus Grand Bend 1 Goals: Lindsay Branderhorst, Abbey DeWeerd (2) Goalkeeper: Magen Overholt Coaches comments: South Huron 1 finished off the 2007 regular season with a convincing victory over a strong Grand Bend squad. South Huron controlled most of the play in the first half and generated a handful of excellent scor- ing opportunities. It was Grand Bend who scored first though on a long shot that found its way into the top of the net. DeWeerd respond- ed late in the half by beating the keeper in close with a low shot. In the second half Branderhorst volleyed the ball past the goalie on a very nice corner kick by Justine VanEsbroeck. DeWeerd completed the scoring with her second on the day. Overholt had a strong game in the net and prevented many good scoring chances. A strong game was played by the entire defensive line. With the win South Huron 1 earned the top spot in the league by finishing the season with 12 consec- utive victories. Aug. 23 SH 1 (4) versus Lucan 1 Goals: Colleen Willert, Justine VanEsbroeck (3) Goalkeepers: Magen Overholt Coaches comments: A strong overall effort earned South Huron 1 a victory in their Challenge Cup qualifier South Huron 1 con- trolled much of the play and prevented an aggressive Lucan squad from getting many quality chances. By using the game plan South Huron was able to generate many solid scoring chances as well.
