VIU Mariners women’s soccer in contention for bronze medal at CCAA nationals
SQUAMISH — After a narrow defeat in their first game at the CCAA women’s soccer nationals the VIU Mariners kept in medal contention with a massive win.
The Mariners scored four goals in the opening 22 minutes of their bronze medal quarterfinal en route to an 8-0 win over the Brandon University Bobcats on Thursday, Nov. 7.
VIU coach Bobbie Taylor liked the way the team rebounded from a tournament opening 1-0 loss against Montmorency the day prior.
“We entered the game with an assertive mentality and took what we learned from yesterday and made positive strides today. Rewarding ourselves with goals has been a challenge all season so this is certainly refreshing and timely.”
