The SAIT Trojans varsity women’s soccer team is thankful for its Yukon content.

Two of the three goals scored by the Calgary squad have come courtesy of Whitehorse players Emily Fedoriak and Jocelyn Wynnyk.

While the Trojans are currently in last place in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference’s (ACAC) South Division at 0-5-2, things may be even worse if not for their Yukon scorers.

On Sept. 26, Fedoriak, 23, scored to salvage a 1-1 draw with the Olds College Broncos.

The first-year student studying respiratory therapy actually scored three times on the day, but two of her goals were called back on offside rulings.

“(Olds College) really only had the one shot,” said Trojans coach John Talerico.

“We outplayed them in all facets of the game. In the end, we played very well.”

Despite ending a four-game losing streak, Talerico was disheartened that his team’s hard work didn't translate into their first victory of the season.

“Our work ethic was there, up and down the field,” he said.

“The outcome is disappointing, but our play was fantastic.”

Five-foot-eight Fedoriak isn’t the only striker prowling the offensive zone for the Trojans.

Third-year Wynnyk is also tasked with sniping goals for the squad, and she came through in the home opener Sept. 19.

After being shut out in three straight, the five-foot-three striker finally broke the goose egg, burying a loose ball that came after a teammate’s free kick.

While the team eventually lost 4-1 to the visiting Medicine Hat College Rattlers, who scored on the very next play after Wynnyk’s goal.

“We were asleep at the wheel,” coach Talerico admitted. “It’s unfortunate, but it’s things we can work on. We’re a young team and we’re learning.”

Wynnyk, 20, is studying administrative info management at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT).

When she’s not on the pitch, the two-sport athlete can be found patrolling the crease for the Trojans’ varsity women’s hockey team.

The hockey club is currently 1-1, two games into the season.
