Last week the Sr. Girls Soccer team travelled to Kamloops for the Provincial Championship. After finishing 2^nd in the Okanagan Championships the team went into Provincials with a 5^th overall ranking. On day 1 the Mustangs won 2 games against North Island Secondary School and Fort St. James Secondary School. This set up a game against Ecole Jules Verne in what was essentially a quarter-final. The Mustangs took a 1-0 lead right before halftime, and had a great chance to take a 2-0 lead but could not convert the chance. However, Jules Verne came out strong in the second half scoring 3 straight goals to take a 3-1 lead with only around 14 minutes to go. The Mustangs did not give up. Ella Bekar scored two quick goals to tie it, before Iyra Puno scored with only 1 minute left to win the game and put the Mustangs into the Provincial semi-final. This marked the 17^th straight season the Mustangs qualified for the Provincial semi-finals! What an accomplishment! The semi-final saw a re-match of last year’s semi-final vs. Pacific Christian School from Victoria. The Mustangs took an early 1-0 lead before PCS tied the game. The game stayed level for a long time, however with only 2 minutes left, the ball fell for Mya Blazejewski who powered it into the net to take a 2-1 lead and send the Mustangs to the Provincial Final! The Provincial Final was yet another re-match from last year as the Mustangs took on Southridge. Southridge scored a very nice shot early in the game, and the Mustangs could not muster a goal, winning a silver medal at Provincials. A huge congratulations to the team on their accomplishment! Congratulations to some individual award winners, Iyra Puno the team’s Super 16 award winner, and to Jayla Thalheimer who had the honour of being named Tournament MVP. Congratulations!

Congratulations to our senior players for their leadership and success on and off the field over their seasons on the team.

Way to go Mustangs!

Annika came to Immac after graduating from St. Joe’s. One of her most treasured memories is the grad show performance and its tiresome hours of rehearsal in preparation to the actual night. She is most thankful for the teachers and staff, whose patience (she’s sure was tested many times) and understanding when she struggled gave her encouragement and insight to help her figure out many things. Annika also plans to attend Steubenville conference in the summer in Spokane, as well as working to save for school. She will be going to Okanagan College to pursue the Animation program in the fall. Congratulations Annika!

She hopes to eventually become a nurse living in Vancouver. Fabi’s sister Camila graduated from Immac. Congratulations Fabi!
