Kodiaks top Eagles following wild second half

The Lethbridge Kodiaks are through to the semi-finals at the 2023 Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) Women's Futsal Championship following a 7-4 win against The King's University Eagles Saturday afternoon. 

"I'm so thrilled for the girls," said Kodiaks Head Coach Sean Carey. "I felt like the last two games is some of the best futsal we've played all season and we just didn't get the right side of the results. 

"The girls wanted it so bad and I think they got out of the game today what they deserved." 

Six different Kodiaks scored in the win-or-go-home victory, highlighted by a pair of goals from Jayna Timinski. Taylor Hrycun of the Kodiaks and Demaris Hodges of the Eagles swapped goals in the opening half before the wild conclusion. 

In the second half, Timinski scored her pair while Aimee Tiemstra notched a pair in favour of the Eagles. Michaella Freiha also found the back of the net for the Eagles, but the Kodiaks would receive goals from Malorie Hanson, Meaghan Welby, Megan Morrison, and Olivia DePasquale to secure the win. 

Kenley Matishak of the Kodiaks and Lexa Steenhof of the Eagles earned Player of the Game honours for their respective sides.
