Amanda Druno recorded a hat trick as the Durham Lords beat
Humber 4-0 in the gold medal final to win its second provincial
title.
After an opening goal off the foot of Abbie Visser, Druno took
control of the pitch as she tallied a natural hat trick to propel
the Lords to the 4-0 win.
On the road to the championship final, Durham finished first in
their pool on day one, sporting a 3-0 record. On day two, Durham
found themselves against the previously undefeated Niagara Knights.
Behind two goals from Kristin Bodashefsky, Durham advance to the
Championship final with a 4-1 victory over the Knights.
With the indoor title, the Lords achieved bookend gold medals for
their 2006-07 Women’s Soccer seasons, winning the outdoor
title in the fall. Durham becomes the first college to accomplish
this feat since Humber in 2001.
The silver medal for the Hawks marked their second consecutive
medal in Women’s Indoor Soccer, as they won bronze in
2006.
Joining Durham and Humber on the medal podium were the Seneca
Sting. Seneca and Niagara proved to be equally matched as the two
teams played to a 0-0 deadlock after regulation time and after a 15
minute sudden-death overtime period. In dramatic fashion, penalty
kicks were used to decide the winner of the match. Six shooters
were needed to decided the eventual bronze medal winner, as Seneca
outlasted the Knights 3-2 to take home the hardware.
