Adrienne Juni and Andrew Oxtoby of Burnaby earned two of the 12 scholarships handed out by the B.C. Soccer Association last week.
Besides playing the beautiful game, Juni has refereed for the past six seasons, as well as squeezing in coaching duties with the Burnaby Girls under-11 Thunderbolts.
Oxtoby plays, coaches and mentors young players at the Wesburn youth club and aspires to be a goalkeeper coach one day.
All 12 recipients will be recognized at an MLS game between the Vancouver Whitecaps and the New England Revolution on Saturday, June 15.
On her way to Moncton
Javelin thrower Krista Woodward was named to the 33-athlete B.C. senior team that will represent the province at the 2013 Canadian national track and field championships to be held in Moncton, N.B. from June 20 to 23.
Last month, Woodward won a pair of meets held in Tucson, Arizona with throws of 57-and 58-plus metres. She has recorded the top three throws in Canada this season and is 11th in the world.
