The Niagara United Juventus 2011 girls soccer team is the best of the best.
With a 6-0 victory over Barrie SC, the fourth-ranked squad in Canada was crowned Ontario Cup champion this past weekend. Niagara United Juventus is the first Niagara team to win an Ontario Cup at any age level since the 2016 Niagara-on-the-Lake under-13 girls team.
“It was an exciting day but it was a long journey and this was the longest season I have ever had in my life,” head coach Paolo Sirianni said. “The girls executed the game plan with our defensive structure translating to transitions into offence and capitalizing on goals. Our players played fast and attacked hard.”
On the way to the Ontario Cup final, Niagara defeated the Guelph Junior Gryphons 3-0, the Pelham Panthers 9-0, London Alliance 5-4 on penalty kicks after the game was tied 3-3 after regulation play, and Caledon 7-0 in the semifinals.
Riley Woehl scored twice in the final and singles were netted by Daytona Wiens, Michela Lombardi, Ella Yetman and Ava Covelli. Yetman was player of the game after recording a goal and two assists.
“Ella Yetman set up Riley Woehl 2:30 into the game to get us started.”
It was a great moment when the final whistle sounded.
