The future of Wolf soccer is tearing up the pitch this summer.
Lyla Stuurmans, who’s headed into the fifth grade at Coupeville Elementary School (unless her pro contract comes through first), is spending her days playing with Northwest United FC out of Burlington.
That squad, and its Wolf sharpshooter, are 9-0 and have won both tournaments they’ve played in this summer.
NW United swept through the Crossfire Challenge this past weekend, winning five straight games over a four-day period.
Stuurmans and company pulled off three consecutive shut-outs to open the tourney and eventually outscored their rivals 12-2.
Lyla hails from a family with a long line of athletic success in Cow Town.
Dad Scott is a former CHS hoops star and mom Sarah is inducted in the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame for her work as a coach.
If we listed off all the sports accomplishments of her aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents, we’d be here all day.
Fair warning to her family, better hang on to your trophies, cause Lyla is coming for all of them.
