No goals conceded, all gold.

The under-12 girls Yukon Strikers let in zero goals on their way to gold at the North Shore soccer tournament in British Columbia last weekend, which also featured teams from B.C., Washington State and the Northwest Territories.

Goal keeper Avery Bramadat, who shared goalie duties with Mikaela Ponsioen, kept the opponents off the board throughout the tournament.

The Strikers opened the tourney with a 3-0 win over the Whistler Strikers, with Abby Hawes opening the scoring seven minutes into the game.

Both Strikers were evenly matched until the end of the first half, but eight minutes into the second Ponsioen netted the Yukon club's second goal before adding her second of the game with eight minutes remaining.

The Strikers' second match was much of the same, defeating the North Shore Jaguars 2-0.

Both clubs were equal until the 29th minute, when Nadia Moser capitalized on a rebound from an Hawes shot. Malore Hanson scored the Strikers' second goal in the second half.

The Yukon girls matched their opening game's score with a 3-0 win over the North Shore Stars in the third game.

Hanson opened the scoring four minutes in off a pass from Ponsioen. The Stars kept the Strikers off the score sheet for the rest of the first half.

Christine Moser started the scoring in the second half off a pass from Hanson, before Ponsioen ended the game's scoring with a late goal.

The girls practised the following day to prep for the final game, a rematch against the Whistler Strikers.

The score ended the same way, with Ponsioen scoring eight minutes in. Emily Ross spotted Ponsioen for her second goal of the game, before she rounded out a hat-trick off a pass from keeper Bramadat.

Coach Sarah Hanson said, because her club didn't know what to expect, the Strikers entered into the bronze division, rather than the higher tiers: silver, gold or metro.

"We weren't really sure what to expect in that lower level, but we have only upwards to go, so I think, considering how well we did, we would certainly play up in the future,” Hanson said.

"We were being a little on the safe side. We've been to Anchorage and been challenged quite a lot there, so we thought we'd like to play a tournament at the end of the season that we thought we could be competitive in. I probably would have liked to see us be a little more challenged.”

Hanson added, however, that the experience was a positive one for team building.

"It was a really great experience for the girls in terms of gaining some confidence and playing as a team … everyone was able to contribute and that was a really big bonus,” she said.

The girls were obviously thrilled with their performance.

"We didn't blow any other teams out, it was two and three goal games usually, so it wasn't like we were incredibly dominant; we had to fight for every goal … and to finally win the gold medal game, they were thrilled.”

This tournament marked the end of the Strikers' season, which saw the team move from indoor tournaments against Juneau teams and an outdoor tournament in Anchorage.

Now, half the team will move up into a higher age group.

"I think it was a great building block for our team,” Hanson said. "It was a really good experience for all of them moving into their new teams. It was a great way to finish off the season, that's for sure.”
