Kanoa Football Club\u00a0 U13 boys, U16 girls, and U16 boys lead their respective divisions after winning each of their games in the TakeCare Youth Soccer League Fall 2022 last Oct. 8 at the Northern Mariana Islands Soccer Training Center in Koblerville.<\/p>\n

The hat-trick of sorts came after Kanoa FC\u2019s U13 boys team beat Shirley\u2019s FC, 7-2, to improve its win-loss record to 2-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kanoa FC\u2019s U16 girls made it 2-2 for the day\u00a0 after they routed Shirley\u2019s FC, 11-1, to go above .500 in the standings at 2-1.<\/p>\n

The third Kanoa FC game saw its U16 boys remain unbeaten at 3-0 after blanking Matansa FC, 3-0,\u00a0<\/p>\n

U13 BOYS

\nThe younger Kanoa boys dominated the field and made light work of the ball as they rumbled through the first half with four goals, the first of which was made just two minutes into the game by Maximus Taitano.<\/p>\n

He was followed by teammate Jayson Tagabuel in the 10th minute to put Kanoa up 2-0. Taitano soon found the back of the net once again just eight minutes later for his second goal of the game, with Kanoa now up, 3-0.<\/p>\n

Tahir Shakir added one more goal for Kanoa before Branson Santos Jr. from Shirley\u2019s bagged their first goal, for a game of 4-1. One more goal was added by N.J, Pino of Shirley\u2019s but it wasn\u2019t enough as Kanoa wasn\u2019t done attacking Shirley\u2019s goalie, with Gil Rooney scoring two goals and Akoni Matsumoto scoring one for the final score of 7-2.<\/p>\n

U16 GIRLS

\nIn the U16 girls match, Kanoa also defeated Shirley\u2019s, 11-1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shirley\u2019s barely made a dent on Kanoa\u2019s defenses as their only goal came in the last minutes of the second half, made by Alyssa Borlongan.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kanoa had already scored four goals in the first half, with seven shots coming in rapid fire succession in the second half.
\nAudrey Castro of Kanoa completed the hat-trick of three goals\u2014two in the first half and one in the second half. Deseha Mendiola and Beatrice Gross almost completed hat-trick themselves with two goals each.<\/p>\n

U16 BOYS
\nKanoa FC 3,
\nMatansa FC\u00a0 0<\/strong>
\nThe last game of the day and the last for Kanoa saw their U16 boys shut down Matansa, 3-0.<\/p>\n

The first half came and went quietly as both teams couldn\u2019t penetrate each other\u2019s defenses, but Kanoa\u2019s Christian Negara, Akoni Matsumoto, R.J. Manabat scored three successive goals which was enough to secure the win, 3-0, with Matansa unable to retaliate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
