It may have been a chilly, rain soaked Friday morning, but the Fanshawe women’s soccer team managed to put a little sunshine in their day, defeating the Sheridan Bruins 1-0 at the Belairdirect OCAA Women’s Soccer Championship. Nicole Carriere, a first year rookie for the Falcons, scored the lone goal in the first half of the match, despite being hampered by the rain and slick conditions.

The inclement weather did not appear to deter the Falcons mid-fielder Erin Hemming either, as she was recognized as the Player of the Game for her tireless energy and multi-directional play. Bruins defender, Lisa May was also acknowledged as the Bruins’ Player of the Game for her superb defense and ability to contain the Fanshawe’s offensive strikes.

With thoughts of warmth in the minds of all the female athletes, tomorrow’s Bronze Medal Game will kick off at 9:00am at the Ontario Soccer Centre, with the Sheridan Bruins sporting their white and blue uniforms. They will square off against Humber who will be wearing their blue and white colours.
