Langara wins gold for an all BCCAA victory
During the women's gold metal game, extra time was a good time for the BC Champion Langara College Falcons in the Gold Medal match against Thompson Rivers University (TRU) at the 2008 Big Kahuna/adidas Canadian Colleges Athletic Association 2008 Soccer Championship.
"Sometimes things aren't fair." said WolfPack head coach Eric Schweizer, who could have been coaching his final game as benchboss at Thompson Rivers Unviersity " Langara is a good team. Very disappointing for us after we dominated play for most of the second half. We sometimes forget that we can't leave someone as talented as Nicole Stewart alone."
Stewart gave credit to TRU for a strong match. " We have a great rivalry with these girls. All our matches against them have been very tough. Win or lose, the girls on either side respect each other and there is good sportsmanship all around. TRU came out really strong in the first half and we struggled. We started to rebound and had some moments late in that first half. We managed to squeak out a victory."
