CONTINUED from Page 26 With the teams tied at 1-1, including a goal from Shannon Wilson, Shae Wessler put the Blues in front with a 30-yard free kick to the top left corner. Just minutes away from victory, the Wolf Pack equalized when they managed to re-direct their own free kick. When overtime couldn’t break the deadlock, the teams headed to penalty kicks where the Blues promptly took control. Wilson, Wessler and Mary Berger all converted their attempts, while goalkeeper Abby Parson made two huge saves. Vancouver’s third attempt hit the crossbar, ending the drama. According to coach Richard Lowe, it’s been quite the journey over the years to achieve this breakthrough season. “There’s a lot of side stories to this with kids being injured and other stuff,” said a proud Lowe. “I told the girls they had to forget about everything else going on and tackle their challenges head on. It took an entire team effort to achieve this. “I was so impressed with how they responded after they tied the game on a soft goal. They knew exactly what they had to do.” Meanwhile, in “A” Cup action, a pair of Delta Metro Selects teams continued their outstanding seasons with victories. The Selects blanked Langley United 3-0 in the U16 boys final. Delta also took
the U15 girls crown with a 3-2 win over Richmond FC. Both teams earlier won league titles and will be looking to complete the “triple” at provincials in July where they return as defending champions. That tournament takes place in Burnaby.
