“I’m proud for those young women,” said Ladycats head soccer coach Brian Hill. “It’s good for them to get that [recognition] for all the hard work they’ve put in and for the rest of the region to recognize that as well.”

Tyre led the team in assists (18) and assists per game (1.1) and finished the season second in goals (29).
