St Mirren Women and Girls Academy recorded two wins, a draw and a cup victory across four matches at the weekend, with the senior women\u2019s side booking their place in the last 16 of the League Cup.<\/p>\n

The Academy sides scored 15 goals across the four fixtures, with the U14s and U16s both winning, the U18s drawing a ten-goal match and St Mirren Women securing a late cup victory away to Dunipace.<\/p>\n

St Mirren U14s came through a seven-goal match to beat Central 4-3.<\/p>\n

The young Saints created enough chances to have been two goals ahead inside the opening ten minutes but instead fell behind after conceding an avoidable goal.<\/p>\n

They responded well and turned the match around to lead 2-1 at half-time.<\/p>\n

St Mirren extended their advantage to 4-2 after the break before Central pulled another goal back to set up a tense finish.<\/p>\n

The U14s held on for the victory, with Amber scoring twice and Macie and Kara also on target.<\/p>\n

St Mirren U16 YPL also had to come from behind as they defeated Morton 4-2.<\/p>\n

With several players unavailable through injury and suspension, St Mirren adopted a 4-4-2 formation.<\/p>\n

Despite creating chances, they went into the interval trailing 1-0.<\/p>\n

The response came during the second half, with St Mirren scoring three quick goals to turn the match around.<\/p>\n

Morton reduced the deficit from a corner with ten minutes remaining, but St Mirren added their fourth goal in the final minute.<\/p>\n

Freya McMahon, Karmyn, Ava MacFarlane and Mia McCamon were the St Mirren goalscorers.<\/p>\n

There was another comeback in the U18s match as St Mirren recovered from three goals down to draw 5-5 away to Dunfermline Athletic U18s.<\/p>\n

The visitors were 3-0 behind inside the opening 20 minutes before Freya McFarlane pulled one back before half-time.<\/p>\n

St Mirren increased the tempo after the break and completed the turnaround to move 4-3 ahead.<\/p>\n

Dunfermline equalised before St Mirren went in front again at 5-4, only for the home side to find another equaliser.<\/p>\n

McFarlane scored four of St Mirren\u2019s five goals, with Casey Canning also on target.<\/p>\n

The sides are due to meet again next week.<\/p>\n

The senior St Mirren Women\u2019s side completed the weekend by beating Dunipace 2-1 in the League Cup Preliminary Round to reach the last 16.<\/p>\n

Praise Adebo opened the scoring from the penalty spot following a handball, but Dunipace responded quickly and equalised from a corner.<\/p>\n

St Mirren were then reduced to ten players for the final 30 minutes following a second yellow card.<\/p>\n

The visitors changed to a 3-4-2 formation and continued to look for a winning goal despite being a player down.<\/p>\n

It arrived in the 92nd minute when Casey Canning scored to secure a 2-1 victory and St Mirren\u2019s place in the last 16.<\/p>\n

The four results completed a successful weekend across St Mirren Women and Girls Academy, with the teams scoring 15 goals between them.<\/p>\n
