Muskoka Soccer Roundup: U11 Girls net 12 in first win

The Muskoka United FC (MUFC) U11 Girls picked up their first win of the Huronia District Soccer League season this week.

And it was a big win at that. The MUFC girls won 12-0 over North Simcoe with Jane Holik leading the way with four goals in the match.

Other scorers for Muskoka included Mackenna Gibbons with two and six others with one each (Teagan Holik, Leia Evans, Emma Lapp, Val Robinson, Marlowe Kerr and Josephine Whitfield).

Not only did the team perform on the offensive end, but the defense was strong as well, and Chloe Boyes picked up a clean sheet in net.

“Everyone contributed to a great night for the team,” says coach Dan Gibbons.

The U11 girls were at a festival in Barrie on Saturday before a Monday night match-up with North Bay.
