Kanoa Football Club kept its slim lead in the girls U16 division of the 2019 NMIFA Fall Youth League after beating MP United, 6-2, last Saturday at the NMI Soccer Training Center in Koblerville.
Lynzey Green and Desiree Decena scored two goals apiece for Kanoa, while Khristelle Itaas added one to lift their team to a 7-1-0 win-draw-loss record—just one win ahead of TanHoldings.
