The Summerside United will play in the Subway P.E.I. Under19 Girls Soccer League championship game in Stratford on Saturday.

Hope DesRoche increased Summerside’s lead to 2-0 on a great individual effort six minutes later as the United took a 2-0 lead into halftime. Kate Doiron got Stratford on the board in the 64th minute, but Brianna Gunning restored Summerside’s two-goal lead in the 80th minute. DesRoche closed out the scoring
