Ninjas
LAVAL WOMEN – THE WRATH OF THE NUNCHUCK
03 fév.

Had the score line gone the other way, Sabrina Lacoste and company would be deemed lethal championship material.

“This was both a very physical and very intense game,” explains the Ninjas captain following a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Joga Bonita, who will remain the team to beat in the FB2 Division Dojo. “Considering that one of our best defenders was injured, I thought we held up pretty well and played a great team game despite the loss.”

The best the Ninjas can hope for now is a top-three finish. FC Boisbriand, meanwhile, may just steal everyone’s championship mojo thanks to a crucial game in hand. For Lacoste, the real test is yet to come.

“We’ll need to raise it up a notch for the playoffs, get into Ninja mode and win! We started the season right and we’re planning to end it right.”

POTG: Although Joga Bonita managed to keep her off the score sheet, Stephanie Moffatt has been the Ninja’s most lethal scorer with a whopping 20 goals this season, just two shy of Bonita sniper Lisa Stock.
