S.C. Genesee Lancers ladies take first place at u19 Gates Tournament

By Chris Chilano

The Lancers took first place at the 2009 Gates Tournament July 18-19.

Game one saw the Lancers defeat Oakville (Canada) U19's by the score of 2-0. Emily Starowitz and Kaylie Ewers both scored, off assists by Kasey Welch. Game #2 was a 4-0 win over Niagara Pioneer. Ewers got the team going off an assist from Julia Medwid. Jessie Jaszko then took a Medwid assist and went in on a breakaway and scored. Welch would then score on a PK just minutes later. Julia Medwid finished her great game with a well deserved tally off a Lin Wellspeak assist.

Sunday brought a 1-0 win over Gates Metros-I. Kasey Welch scored on a free kick from 25 yards out in extra time to win the game.

The final saw the ladies defeat the Gates Metros-II by the score of 1-0 as Brooke Mallaber's first half goal, off a Jenna Ferrando assst, was all the ladies needed. Leslie George made 6 saves in the final to post her 4th shutout of the weekend. The Lancers defense of Jenna Ferrando, Audrey Rath, Jenn Lonnen, Jamie Braswell, Mallaber, and Alesha Amend was fantastic all weekend.

Congrats to the team for a great weekend!
