[December 1, 2015 – Harmon Guam] Quality Distributors FC capped its 2015 Bud Light Women’s Soccer League Fall championship season with an undefeated record following final week play and earned one of two seeded positions in the upcoming Women’s GFA Cup, set to begin Sunday.
The Lady Rovers, champions of the 2015 Spring season, earned the other seeded position in the Women’s GFA Cup bracket. The final bracket, with all other positions determined by blind draw, was released this week on the Guam Football Association Web site.
League play officially concluded Wednesday evening at the GFA National Training Center with the Isla Paint and Roof Supply Lady Strykers (5-3) cementing its fourth-place finish in the league with a 12-0 win over Dededo Soccer Club (1-7).
Alexy Dacanay scored five in the win and teammate Kimberly Sherman scored twice. Koharu Minato, Ramona Nelson, Jaime Soriano, Erica Alejandro, and Flora Asanoma also scored for the Lady Strykers.
