FC London: Women capture League1 Cup
By Morris Dalla Costa
The FC London women's soccer team added to its trophy case on Sunday, bringing home the Ontario League1 Cup with a 6-1 thrashing of the Woodbridge Strikers in Toronto.
First-half goals by Ashley Campbell and Jade Kovacevic got London off to a quick start, and Campbell's second goal a minute into the second half sealed the deal for the women.
That didn't prevent them for making sure the Strikers didn't get any ideas of a comeback. Marissa Oliveira added a pair of goals in the half while Kaila Novak added a single.
Lindsay Appleton scored the only goal for the Strikers in the 83rd minute.
With the Cup out of the way the women can now concentrate on regular season play in League1. They are still in the hunt for the regular season title.
FC London is in second place with 23 points, two points behind North Mississauga SC, but they are tied with Vaughan Azzurri and Unionville Milliken.
The women have won five and tied two in their last seven regular season games. They play Ottawa in Ottawa on Friday.
Their next home game is Aug. 11 at the German Canadian Club at 7:30 p.m. against Aurora.
