100 Mile House's Kailey Lund controlled the ball during a soccer tournament in Williams Lake on May 2.

A girls soccer team from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School went won a pair of games, while also dropping two, at a Williams Lake tournament, May 1-2.

The tourney was a final test for the Eagles of 100 Mile House ahead of the North Central Zone Championships in Prince George this weekend.

Game MVPs in Williams Lake went to Jennifer Sprecher, Daneya Tessaro, Anja Dunk and Olivia Poggenpohl.

100 Mile House's first contest was a 5-0 loss to a Williams Lake senior squad.

The Eagles bounced back, however, following the loss with an 8-1 drubbing of a Fort St. James junior squad.

The local girls then scored a 3-1 victory over the Williams Lake juniors.

100 Mile House dropped a close final game, 1-0, against seniors from Fort St. James.

The Eagles kick off their zone campaign with a 1:30 p.m. contest on May 10 against Prince George.

The Eagles must finish in the top two of their three-team pool to advance to the semi-finals on May 11.

The winner of the six-team event will represent the North Central Zone at the provincial AA championships in Surrey later this month.

"To be realistic about our chances, I think making the semi-finals and possibly coming a way with a bronze medal would be fantastic,” says PSO coach Sean Glanville. “But no matter how we do it will be a great learning experience for the team."

The majority of 100 Mile House's core players are still in the junior grades, so the future looks bright and the girls will have an idea of what to expect next year, the coach adds.
