Holland College wins National Bronze Medal with WCRFC coaches and players leading the way
Congratulations to the Holland College Women's Soccer Team on winning a Bronze Medal this week at the Canadian College National Championships held in Summerside.
The highest finish ever for a Hurricane Women's soccer team!
A special congratulations to those members of the team that have played soccer with Winsloe Charlottetown Royals FC.
The team had an undefeated season in ACAA play going 12-0 in the regular season and then winning both their games in the ACAA playoffs.
At Nationals the team started off with a 4-1 victory over Douglas College Royals from British Columbia and then tied 1-1 with Saint-Foy Dynamiques of Quebec before losing in penalty shots.
The shoot out loss put Holland into the bronze medal round where they defeated University of Kings College from Halifax 1-0 (for the 4th time in a month).
The Bronze Medal game pitted Holland College vs Champlain College Cavaliers of Quebec, the number 1 ranked team in the country heading into the tournament.
Holland College was able to score a goal with 20 minutes to play in the game and then hold on for the Bronze Medal victory.
The team ended the season with 17 wins and 1 penalty shot loss, an amazing accomplishment!
