Drew Wilson will return to her classrooms at North Lambton Secondary School this week as a national champion.
The grade nine student and her London Alliance FC side won the Canadian Girls’ Under-15 Cup on Monday in Surrey, B.C. with a 2-nil win over Sherbrooke, Quebec in the first place match.
Wilson and her mates won five straight decisions outscoring their opposition, 15-nil over the six-day national tournament.
In the championship contest, London opened the scoring with a strike from the left wing in the 15th minutes and added an insurance goal off a steal in the 66th minute of the 70-minute match.
Wilson, 14, played her earlier minor soccer career with the Taxandria minor system in Arkona
