The Under 14 girls also took a win on the weekend with a 2-1 overtime win against Penticton. Penticton got off to an early start to lead 1-0, but Hailey Wright scored the equalizer for Kelowna with a beautiful run down the right side of the field and a shot that was too powerful for the goalie to handle. Katrina Schrod scored the overtime winner for the Chaos. Kelowna U14 girls won the gold medal, in addition to being crowned league champions.
