The Yorkton United Under 14 girls soccer team captured silver medals at the 2013 Saskatchewan Indoor Soccer Provincial Championships in Regina on March 1-3.
In the first game of the tournament against Regina Unidad, Yorkton controlled the play the entire game with many glorious scoring chances and came out on top 1-0. Leia Zulyniak scored the game winner with Marley Kosedy earning the shutout in goal.
The second game of the round robin was against a much tougher opponent, Saskatoon Lakewood. This was a well, evenly played game with great offensive and defensive play from both teams with Yorkton United prevailing in the end 2-1. The goal scorers were Leia Zulyniak and Taryn Kustra.
In the final round-robin game, Yorkton squared off against Swift Current. Once again this was a back-and-forth match with Jordan Holinaty scoring Yorkton's lone goal in the 1-1 tie.
The draw ensured the club first place in their pool, advancing them to the playoff round.
In their semi-final match, Yorkton was slated to take on Saskatoon Hollandia; however, due to unforeseen circumstances, Yorkton advanced to the final by default because the Saskatoon club did not show up for the semi-final.
Yorkton took on Saskatoon Lakewood for the second time in the tournament in the finals. Same as the first time they met, this was an entertaining back-and-forth game that saw Yorkton take the lead early in the match on a goal by Leia Zulyniak. But Saskatoon came back to tie the game just before half time. The second half of the game didn't solve anything, going scoreless. Therefore, the teams played two five-minute overtime periods. After no one found the back of the net in extra time, Saskatoon won the contest in a shootout.
Yorkton United would like to thank their jersey sponsor: Remax Blue Chip Realty - Evan Johnson.
