It was a good weekend for the Quesnel girls soccer teams.
Both the U13 and U15 girls won their playdowns in a couple of games each against 100 Mile in Williams Lake, carving themselves a spot in their provincials in North Vancouver early next month.
The U13 girls started off the strong against 100 Mile, earning a 2-0 victory. Rachel Schotel scored the first goal late in the second half, burying a rebound from Avery Drew's shot in the back corner of the net. Shortly after, Quesnel was awarded a penalty kick, which Cassidy Giesbrecht struck perfectly into the bottom left corner.
The second game ended 1-0 with Haely Pike nabbing the only goal in the game, assisted by a quality cross from Sarah Jarvis.
Keeper Ashley Carter played solid in the net for both games, making several big saves in her back-to-back shut outs.
The U15 girls were equally successful, but the were a little closer.
The girls rebounded confidently in the first game after conceding a goal in the first five minutes form the 100 Mile girls. After their first goal they found their flow, continuing to a 3-1 victory.
Going into the second match, the girls continued to play strong and finished the afternoon with a 6-1 victory over 100 Mile.
Both teams will be in North Vancouver July 4-7 taking on the rest of the province.
