In an engaging contest, the Waterloo Warriors fell to the York Lions 2-0. York took control early on with two goals in the first half. Nia Fleming-Thompson scored the opener at 6:50, followed by Sabrina Fabiano's goal at 12:57. These early strikes set the tone for the match.
Despite trailing, the Warriors demonstrated resilience and maintained pressure. Their goalkeeper, Natalie Mouradian (Kitchener), made crucial saves throughout the game, keeping the Lions scoreless in the second half. With a total of 13 saves, Mouradian displayed elite skills. The Warriors attack, led by Priyanka Chakravarti (Richmond Hill) and Aya Naamani (Oakville), tried to break through the Lions defense but struggled to convert their opportunities. The offensive strength of the Warriors forced the Lions to take 11 fouls, over double that of the Warriors clean play style.
The Warriors look forward to their next match against the Lions this Sunday, September 8.
