Kanoa Football Club-1 and Paire Football Club coasted past their respective opponents in the girls U15 division games in the NMIFA Summer Youth League 2021 last Saturday at the NMI Soccer Training Center in Koblerville.
Paire topped Kanoa FC-2, 8-3, while Kanoa-1 shut down Shirley’s FC. TanHoldings FC completed the winner’s roster in Week 2 of the competition after downing Southern United FC, 4-2.
Hope McQuay drilled a hat-trick to power Kanoa to the lopsided victory. Isabel Manabat chipped in two goals, while Kaleen Leemarvin added one.
Juztidy Mizutani also delivered three goals in Paire’s easy win over Kanoa-2. She made all three goals in the first half to hand Paire a 5-1 lead at halftime. Teneasha Diaz, Alana Hayes, Mary Among, Anna Dalusung, and Miranda Borja also scored for Paire, while Kanoa-2’s three goals were all courtesy of Valerie Estella.
In the TanHoldings-Southern United tiff, four different players hit the board for the winning team. Rizza Relucio, siblings Aubrey and Audrey Castro, and Kaithlyn Chavez made one goal apiece for TanHoldings, while Southern United’s pair came from Pia Ngewakl and Megan Elayda.
