As one of the most decorated schools in OCAA history, one sport
had continued to elude the Fanshawe Flacons, Indoor Soccer.
Traditionally a strong outdoor program, they had never made it to
the championship final on indoor turf until this year.
The Flacons were well on their way to change the landscape of their
trophy case after upended Conestoga 1-0 in their semi-final to mark
the first time in school history the women’s team had reached
the championship round.
In the other semi final Fleming Peterborough defeated the defending
silver medalist, Humber Hawks, 1-0 in a thrilling semi-final that
required penalty kicks. The Fleming ladies managed to score off of
the goal post on both of their opening shots of the final stage to
go ahead 2-0 before Humber was finally able to beat Jennifer Carol,
the tournaments Top Goal Keeper, but it was not enough as the
Knights advanced to the final.
Riding the momentum the Falcons worked hard to establish, the
Falcons maintained defeated the Knights 2-0 to earn their
school’s 35 tournament championship gold medal. Emily
Costello (defense) turned in a solid tournament on defense and was
named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.
