Congratulations to the Western Mustangs Women's Soccer Team
Six King's student-athletes (including Maya Lankin. #28 pictured) helped the Western Mustangs to a 1-0 victory over the Ottawa Gee-Gees in the 2023 U SPORTS Women's Soccer Championships consolation final.
Mustangs Head Coach Martin Painter said he was "really proud of the team. We played three really good teams three days in a row. It's been physically and mentally demanding and I think the team handled it really well and rose to the occasion. I thought we have had two of our best performances of the year over these last two games." Western dominated play in the first half with four shots on goal, but both sides remained locked at 0-0 at halftime.
