(Roselyn B. Monroyo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>TanHoldings Football Club\u2019s Anthony Bergancia and Kanoa FC\u2019 Paulynn Grace Joyce scored the most goals in their respective divisions to win the Golden Boot awards in the 2017 NMIFA Youth Spring League.<\/p>\n<p>Joyce collected 18 goals in six games and was the only player in the girls U15 division to break into double figures despite failing to score in Kanoa\u2019s last two matches. She had back-to-back five-goal output in Kanoa\u2019s 15-0 rout of Matansa last March 11 and 10-1 triumph over MP United last March 18. The Hopwood Middle School student started the season by knocking in two goals in their 3-0 win over Paire last Feb. 18 and then tallied three apiece in Kanoa\u2019s next two games against TanHoldings (Feb.25) and Southern United FC (March 4).<\/p>\n<p>With her 18 goals, Joyce more than doubled the output of Shirley\u2019s FC\u2019s Jerlyn Castillo and fellow Kanoa players Ericka Santiago and Princess Alcantara, who earned seven apiece to tie for second place. MP United\u2019s Francesca Bucalig and Southern United\u2019s Keisha Deleon Guerrero were also in a deadlock for third after logging six goals each, while Lilian Podziewski of spring champion Shirley\u2019s was alone at No. 4 with her five goals. There was also a tie for fifth place among Kanoa\u2019s Sharmaine Francisco, Shirley\u2019s Katrina Costales, and  MP United\u2019s Fiona Bucalig, who had four apiece.<\/p>\n<p>In the co-ed U12, Bergancia scored in all eight games of TanHoldings in the double-round robin competition to end up with the field-best 26 goals. He was the only player in the division to score 20-plus goals this season, as runner-up Sean Gil of Kanoa-1 came up short after registering only 19.<\/p>\n<p>The diminutive TanHoldings striker had his best output (five goals each) in their 9-5 win over Matansa last Feb. 25 and 9-1 victory over Kanoa-2 last March 4. In their first two games (versus MP United and Kanoa 1) and fifth match of the season (against MP United), he recorded two goals apiece, while he had four  in their second meeting against Kanoa-1, and then had three each in TanHoldings\u2019 last two assignments (over Matansa and Kanoa-2).<\/p>\n<p>Besides Bergancia and Gil, nine other players scored at least 10 goals apiece in the division\u2019s spring season, which concluded last April 8. TanHoldings\u2019 Mark Joseph Roque and Angelo Pulido earned 14 apiece to finish third, while there was a three-way tie for fourth with MP United\u2019s Andrew Chung and Garrett Weaver and Kanoa 1\u2019s Daniel Pablo scoring 12 apiece. Kanoa-1\u2019s Markus Toves was at solo fifth with his 11 goals, while MP United\u2019s Kristopher Pascual, Matansa\u2019s Alex Megino, and Kanoa-1\u2019s Jim Kurt Maniago shared the No. 6 spot after collecting 10 each.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TanHoldings Football Club\u2019s Anthony Bergancia and Kanoa FC\u2019 Paulynn Grace Joyce scored the most goals&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":250388,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[15721,15769,15570,15994],"class_list":["post-250379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-ericka-santiago","tag-francesca-bucalig","tag-jim-kurt-maniago","tag-keisha-deleon-guerrero"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250379\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
