Girls soccer tournament comes to Crusader Field one team short
Both the John Paul II Crusaders and Comp Vikings girls soccer teams got their feet wet in an exhibition tournament over the weekend at Crusader Field, but less soccer was played than originally anticipated because Prince Albert Carleton didn’t show up.
Still, both Battlefords teams, along with Se Se Wa Hum and Meadow Lake, each got three games in over the course of the two-day tournament.
The highlight of the weekend was when the Crusaders and Vikings faced off against each other on Friday, as both coaches agreed there’s always something extra on the line when you face your cross town rival.
“That’s always the best team to beat, is the other team in town,” Crusaders head coach Amanda Hansen said. “They’re fun to play, but they’re always the best team to beat.”
