Lady Falcons take home the bronze at provincials

The women's soccer team kicked their way to third place in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association's championships in late October.

Thanks to the fancy footwork of Jory-Lynn Uyl and Bailey Maxwell, the Falcons soared to a 2-0 victory over Seneca College on October 29. Maxwell was named Player of the Game. With this victory, Fanshawe finished its season with an overall record of 9-2-0.

Nicole Carriere, third-year midfield player on the team, said she was disappointed the team only placed bronze. "We were a great team, we worked hard, and we were all over the other team in the game. It's unfortunate we lost in penalty shots (in previous games) and didn't get to go on to nationals."

"We had a great team this year," she said. Next year will mark her fourth and final year on the team. "We hope for gold next year, like we could have had this year."

This marks the third straight year Fanshawe has won a medal in women's soccer. The Falcons won gold in 2009 and silver last season.
