Falcons find all the right answers
By RYAN PYETTE
The Fanshawe women's soccer team started the season with 15 rookies and plenty of questions.
Somewhere between Erin Hemming's team-bonding house parties, a handful of come-from-behind victories, tons of goal-scoring and goalkeeper Emily Gillet's long list of shutouts, they've found the answers.
The Falcons qualified for the Canadian college national championship next week by winning the gold medal at the provincials with a 1-0 victory over the Durham Lords on the weekend at the Ontario Soccer Centre in Woodbridge.
Alana Cornet scored in the match's first minute and Fanshawe held on to book its first nationals berth since 2005.
"We scored quickly, but we played the rest of that game like it was 0-0," veteran midfielder Leah Slamen said. "We're a lot closer as a team than we were last year. We have a lot more first-years, but it was easy to gel together because the players who came in were so good."
The nationals are next week (Nov. 4-7) at the Soccer Centre, with Humber College as the host team. All that will be new is the age group -- coach Martin Painter and plenty of the girls have been down the Canadian club championship and OFSAA high school route in the past.
"We have some girls who have played in club nationals before and it's always the same situation. You want to get off to a good start and keep on a roll. It's an opportunity you want to take advantage of," said Painter, who himself appeared in three national university tournaments with the Western men's team.
Fanshawe is in a pool with the Atlantic conference's Mount Saint Vincent University and Quebec's College Francois-Xavier Garneau.
"It's a little intimidating that you don't know anything about your opponents," Slamen said, "but all you can do is play your own game and worry about that. We play aggressive soccer. We fight for every ball."
Painter has contacts out east that he's going to work for information on the opposition.
"We should be able to put together some sort of game plan from there," he said. "We're hoping to put together an exhibition game this Saturday and be ready to go next week."
Host Humber, which rolled through the Ontario regular season 12-0 and handed the Falcons (8-1-2) their lone loss, is in the other pool with Alberta's Concordia University College and B.C.'s Kwantlen Polytechnic.
"We didn't have our best game against Humber," Slamen said, "so hopefully, we'll play them again (in the final)."
Ontario teams don't often fare well at this tournament. The Falcons hope their youth and zest for the game will change that.
