 Alberta's Edmonton Victoria has won the Jubilee Trophy at the 2009 BMO National Championships in Saskatoon, SK. Edmonton won 5-4 on kicks from the penalty mark after a 0:0 draw with Surrey United in the final match. It is Edmonton's third Jubilee Trophy championship in six years.
 
Goalkeeper Lindsay Letendre was the difference in making a big save against Surrey United. All five Edmonton shooters, meanwhile, hit the target on five opportunities.
 
Today's final wrapped up the five-day women's national championship in Saskatoon, SK. The tournament was moved indoors to the SaskTel Fieldhouse because of weather conditions. While Edmonton won gold and Surrey won silver, Halifax Dunbrack clinched bronze with a 2:0 victory over host Saskatoon NATA.
 
Edmonton's starting XI in the final featured Letendre, Robyn Yuzderski, Lyndsay Stewart, Heather Young, Jackie Smith, Darcie Kutryk, Veronique Mayer, Amanda Black, Keshia Wallin, Carleigh Miller and Tori Martyn.
 
Letendre, Stewart and Sandy Ash were all members of Edmonton's last Jubilee Trophy championship in 2005. Since 2002, Edmonton has won two bronze medals (2003, 2007), one silver medal (2002) and three Jubilee Trophy championships (2004, 2005, 2009).
 
At tournament's end, Martyn and Halifax Dunbrack's Katie Richards were named co-winners of the Top Scorer award. Surrey United's Theresa Nuttal, meanwhile, won the BMO Top Goal Saver award. Halifax Dunbrack won the Fair Play award.
