Bombers edge St. Mike’s 1-0 in AA Soccer opener
The L.V. Rogers Bombers opened the BC High School AA Girl’s Soccer Tournament with a narrow 1-0 victory over St. Michael’s University Thursday morning at the Lakeside Pitch.
The wet conditions proved unlucky for the Vancouver Island visitors as St. Mike’s keeper had the ball slip through her hands before dribbling over the goalline.
Shianne Michalchuk took the shot on a fine pass from Emily Taylor midway through the second half.
The goal came against the flow of play as LVR spent the early part of the half playing defence as St. Michael’s held most of the play.
The Bombers now meet Nechalko Valley of Vanderhoof at 2 p.m.
The format of the 16-team tournament is four pools of four teams. Only the teams that finish first in their pool get to move on to the medal round.
LVR, the defending champion, concludes the round robin draw Friday morning against DW Poppy of Langley.
