The Trinity Western Spartans will play for gold this Sunday at the 2021 U SPORTS Women’s Soccer Championships.
The Langley-based Spartans secured their spot in the title match with a hard-fought 4-2 victory in extra time over the Laval Rouge et Or on Saturday afternoon, Nov 20.
Early in the second half of extra time, senior forward Kathryn Harvey tallied a sensational marker in the 105th minute, which ended up as the game-winner.
A short time later, in the 107th minute, the Spartans added an insurance marker, when freshman forward Holland Stiel tucked a loose ball inside the right goal post from close quarters to make it 4-2.
