They may not have lost a game, but that didn’t mean the Dr. Charles Best secondary Blue Devils finished first at the AAA boy soccer provincials last weekend.
The club defeated Killarney 4-1, Burnaby North 201, St. Georges 2-1 and L.A. Matheson 4-1. However, a 1-1 tie against Sullivan Heights in the first game of the tournament was enough to put the Blue Devils’ championship hopes on ice for 2016 and they eventually finished in fifth place.
Reynolds secondary took the championship, while Argyle won second place and Oak Bay took third.
COQUITLAM TNT
The Coquitlam Metro-Ford TNT won another close one in under-18 girls soccer last week.
After a scoreless first half against West Coast (Maple Ridge), Julianna Bosa put Coquitlam on the scoreboard on a pass from Nicole Chursinoff at the beginning of the second.
One goal was all the team needed to win, thanks to keeper Olivia Dawson making several crucial saves behind a tough TNT defence led by Isabel Antunes, Fiona Swartz, Katie Travis, and Chursinoff.
Coquitlam is currently in second place in the standings following a close loss the week before against Squamish.
Both Cooper Miller and Cristina Danieli scored in the game but it was not enough to overcome the opposition, which won 3-2.
