It's three down and only one more to go for the mighty Titans.
The Burnaby Girls Soccer Club u-13 gold team won the Coastal Cup championship on Sunday when they downed the Abbotsford Eagles by a lopsided 4-0 score at Coquitlam Town Centre Stadium.
The victory gives the club its third major championship of the year after winning their regular season league title, the Inter District Cup and now the Coastal Cup as well, said an elated assistant coach Harv Dhaliwal. "The only thing left is the Provincial A Cup."
"It was a real team effort," said Dhaliwal. "Our defense was outstanding and allowed only one shot on goal, and that was blocked by one of our defenders. They are all team players and move the ball around well, and that prevents the other teams from getting any scoring chances."
Burnaby goal scorers at the Coastal Cup were Natalie Fabbro, who also earned MVP honours, Becky Lawrence, Emma Clark and Kelly Cook. Assists were recorded by Kyrin Dhaliwal, Paige Yaretz, Kelsey Dejarlais and Midori Hanford. Also playing well were Rachel Harker and Alyssa Morello.
The defensive corps of Mackenzie Drescher, Samantha MacPherson, Brittany Gorman and Danielle Mitchell helped hold down the fort and preserve the shutout for goaltender Jennifer (Ferf) Steer.
The Titans will enjoy a month's respite from the game before they begin preparing for the B.C. A Cup finals being held during the first week of July in Surrey. The u-13 Titans sport a record of 17- 1-1 this season.
