It didn't take long for the Yukon's Canada Summer Games girls' soccer team to see the silver lining with its most recent tournament result.

This past weekend, the Yukoners placed second at a tier one/two U-18 competition in Calgary, losing by a mere goal in Sunday's final.

Despite being a little frustrated with the finish, the team has moved on and is preparing for its next challenge, beginning this Saturday in Edmonton.

"They were very disappointed coming off the field on Sunday afternoon because they kind of knew they should have won it, so that's always tougher," said John MacPhail, head coach for the U-18 Yukon team. "Now that one's behind us and we can see if we can match it with a gold medal up here (in Edmonton)."

The Yukoners began the tournament in Calgary with a 2-2 in their opening game, played against the Calgary Blizzard. It was a welcomed draw for the team, who trailed 2-0 well into the second half. However, a pair of goals with around 15 minutes brought the Yukon right back into it.

Terri Publicover put in the groups first goal from about 25 yards out, firing the ball high into the net. With just minutes remaining on the clock, Kyah Parent scored the territory's second goal.

From a tough angle, Parent sent the the ball into the top right hand corner of the net.

The next game for the Canada Games girls was played just hours later, but it had a much better result. The group enjoyed its first win, beating up on their Calgary Chinook opponents 5-0.

Jaime Whitty put in the first goal less than a minute in, scoring on a penalty kick from about 35 yards out.

"Winning 5-0, everybody was doing what they needed to do kind of thing," MacPhail said. "Our idea was lets see if we can get some early success and that's exactly what happened and the other team kind of folded up after that."

Sunday's first contest was the Yukoners' toughest of the tournament. It was against a very skilled Edmonton Scottish team, who scored two goals (one at the end of the first half and one more at the beginning of the second). The score was 2-1 when Emily Fedoriak notched her second of the contest, sending a long shot that went over the goalies' head.

A loss by Medicine Hat qualified the Yukon for the final, which was a round-robin re-match against the Blizzard. The team once again came from behind, scoring a goal to tie it up at one, but Calgary's second tally would be the last of the contest.

The Yukon hit a cross bar and a post in the second half, but that would be as close as it got. Jazmine Cary scored the lone goal for the Yukon.

The team hopes to get back star player Rhiannon Jones, who is recovering from an injury that occurred before travelling to Alberta. Jones didn't play in any of the games in Calgary, but might suit-up in Edmonton.

The last time this team was in Edmonton, it won gold in its division in an indoor tournament.
