The Williams Lake under-14 girls soccer team held its opposition scoreless late June to march away with a gold medal from the Cariboo Youth Soccer League finals in Quesnel.

The team thumped Prince George, 5-0, then handily downed Quesnel, 4-0, en route to the championship.

The Williams Lake under-16 girls, meanwhile, scooped up a silver medal at the tournament.

The team lost a heartbreaker, 1-0, to Quesnel in the final off a penalty kick after a Quesnel player was fouled in the box.

Lakecity soccer teams are now preparing to travel to their respective provincial championships this weekend.

The under-14 girls will be in Nelson, the under-14 boys travel to 100 Mile House and the under-16 girls and the under-17 boys make their way to Penticton.
