WFC 3 – 2 St. Albert Impact Women

WFC secured an important victory on the road Saturday with a 3-2 win in a top-of-the-table clash against St. Albert Impact.

Kendall Showers opened the scoring in just the 3^rd minute, capitalizing on early pressure to give WFC the ideal start. The match stayed tight until the second half when Isabel Monck doubled the lead from the penalty spot in the 58^th minute.

St. Albert responded quickly with a goal in the 72^nd, but substitute Avril Jamieson restored the two-goal cushion just 10 minutes later. A late push by the home side saw them pull one back in stoppage time, but WFC held on to secure all three points.

“It was an excellent performance from the group, with every player playing an important role,” said Head Coach Lee Tucker. “The team showed their quality, determination and togetherness in what was a very tough game. Kendall Showers scored an excellent goal today and was voted player of the game. Isabel Monck was a dominant force in midfield alongside Brooklyn Blake and it was great to see our game changers Rachel Barlow, Emma Schneider, Abby Steen and Avril Jamieson all make huge contributions to the win. We now have a few days to prepare before heading back up to Edmonton to play another challenging opponent in BTB.”

The win keeps WFC at the summit of the League1 Alberta standings and underscores the team’s continued growth heading into the final stretch of the third season.
