city teams. Congratulations to the girls for their tireless effort and endless dedication!
The team faced Sault Ste. Marie on Friday and ended with a 1-0 win. Destiny Berberich scored the lone goal for
Walkerton and was assisted by Faith Yensen and Sarah Biesenthal. Berberich earned the MVP honour for that game.

In the semi-final round the team played South Huron to a slim 1-0 victory. Wyatt had the single goal for the team assisted
