Sunday Feb 14, 2010 - Keyano College Huskies men’s and women's futsal teams participated in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference second futsal tournament of 2010 this past weekend at Medicine Hat’s Exhibition & Stampede Centre. 

 An exhibition sport in the ACAC, with three tournaments scheduled for 2010, the Huskies women tied the Mount Royal Cougars 5-5 in their opening match “We never trailed,” said women’s coach Mark Oxer. “This is quite impressive as Mount Royal has a strong tradition having been to (outdoor soccer) nationals many times in the past. “We were up 5-4 with 20 seconds to go and they scored. Our girls played disciplined defences as they (Cougars) were an attacking team and we burned them with the counter attack.”

“Mental mistakes,” cost the Huskies a 6-2 loss to Medicine Hat B squad in their next game while game three had the Huskies hammering the Lakeland College Rustlers 7-1. “The girls were phenomenal in that game,” said Oxer. “We basically won the counter attack.”

In the semi-finals the Huskies fell to the Medicine Hat A squad 5-0. Oxer added that English Football Association scouts were in attendance at the tournament and had “high praise” for Huskies goalie Simone Quinlan. “They may have her possibly try out for a couple of teams in Europe or some higher level teams in the United States,” says Oxer.
