The U-13 Girls Ontario Indoor Cup, between AG London and Scarborough Wexford, saw both sides feeling each out for much of the first half, without taking too many risks, before a wild finish to the second half. 

AG London’s Aelwyn Nash and Scarborough’s Sara Odza each made numerous saves to ensure the score remained locked at 0-0 through the first 10 minutes.  

Scarborough was the first to break through when a free kick played into the box found the foot of Montana Wilcox. Wilcox controlled the ball, spun towards the net and buried her chance to give Wexford a 1-0 lead.

Nia Wilson would make it 2-0 for Scarborough just before half when she turned her defender and found herself alone in on net, converting her chance. 

London had multiple chances throughout the second half but Odza would turn them away time again. 

It wasn’t until 7 minutes remaining London would finally find a way through and it took a special effort from Ella Vande Sompel. Starting the play in her half, the ball bounced off a few defenders before it finally settled from about 15 yards out. Vande Sompel’s shot, low and hard, beat the keeper and inspired her team. 

Minutes later London’s Jillian Hogewoning would tie the game at 2-2 with a great individual effort. Hailey Burk, less than a minute later, would complete the comeback for London as she put her team ahead 3-2, with three minutes to go. 

Scarborough would press to equalize but London would lock it down the rest of the way, crowning London the U-13 Girls Ontario Indoor Cup champions.
