The report says freshman midfielder Mackenna Trockman opened the scoring with a composed finish before Izabelle O’Banyel added from a corner delivered by Katherine Therriault. O’Banyel reportedly scored twice, while Ella Woodbrey contributed two assists.
For Mt. Ararat, the performance offered an encouraging response to the departure of eight senior starters from last season. Trockman’s emergence gives the Eagles another route into the final third, particularly when opponents close down more experienced attackers.
Flaherty also highlighted the team’s execution in front of goal. “The opportunities we had, we capitalised on it,” he explained.
According to the report, Mt. Ararat led 3-0 at half-time before adding five goals in a spell of less than half an hour after the break. That surge reflected more than simple finishing: the Eagles kept pressing, forced defensive decisions and repeatedly made their dead-ball situations count.
Corner routines can become a decisive weapon in school football, where a single accurate delivery often disrupts an entire defensive shape. Therriault’s service and O’Banyel’s movement reportedly gave Edward Little few answers.
The match was also reportedly the first in charge for Edward Little interim coach Brant Remington, following Tyler Shennett’s personal leave of absence. With only one training session, Remington focused on stability rather than wholesale tactical change.
“It was really talking about culture and positivity,” Remington said.
The next test will reveal whether Mt. Ararat can sustain its clinical edge against stronger opposition, while Edward Little’s response under Remington will become the other storyline to watch.
