(Roselyn B. Monroyo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>TanHoldings Football Club\u2019s Jannah Casarino earned a sizeable lead in the Golden Boot race in the girls U17 division of the 2020 NMIFA Spring Youth League.<\/p>\n<p>From a slim advantage against Kanoa Football Club\u2019s Sharmaine Francisco, 6-5, Casarino went further ahead, 13-7, thanks to her seven-goal output in their 11-3 thrashing of the former\u2019s squad last March 14 at the NMI Soccer Training Center in Koblerville.<\/p>\n<p>Before unloading one goal after another in their lopsided game against Kanoa a week bore Northern Mariana Islands Football Association suspended the league indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Casarino\u2019s three goals were spread evenly in TanHoldings\u2019 first three matches. She delivered two goals each in their 4-0 and 4-1 wins over Southern United last Feb. 15 and March 7, respectively and in their 6-3 triumph over Kanoa last Feb. 29.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Francisco\u2019s best production so far this season was her hat trick in their 7-1 victory over MP United last March 7. In their last match before the suspension of the league, the Kanoa striker got two goals in a losing effort versus TanHoldings, while her two other goals were registered in their 2-4 loss to Southern United last Feb. 22 and another defeat against TanHoldings last Feb. 29.<\/p>\n<p>Joining Francisco and Casarino in the Top 5 in the race for the Golden Boot award are MP United\u2019s Mauryzon Tybaco, Kanoa Football Club\u2019s Paulyn Joyce, and Southern United\u2019s Keisha Deleon Guerrero. The three players have four goals apiece with Tybaco getting three in their 6-2 win over Kanoa last Feb. 15 and the lone goal in their loss to the same squad early this month. Joyce delivered all her four goals in their second round win against MP United, while Deleon Guerrero had one apiece in their 0-4 loss to TanHoldings and 2-0 win over MP United and two in another victory over MPU.<\/p>\n<p>Not far behind Deleon Guerrero, Tybaco, and Joyce are MP United\u2019s Audrey Castro, Southern United\u2019s Nathanette Blas, Kanoa\u2019s Kristelle Itaas and TanHoldings\u2019 Kaithlyn Chavez, who have three goals each.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TanHoldings Football Club\u2019s Jannah Casarino earned a sizeable lead in the Golden Boot race in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":319864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-319863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319863","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=319863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/319864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
