The senior girls' soccer program spent many years in the proverbial sporting wilderness when it first started. It was often seen as a chance for recreational fun rather than a competitive challenge. In the past few years, the Collingwood program has changed completely. Two years ago, the Cavs won the league title. However, winning the league is not a ticket to the BC Championships, you must win one of two playoff games to earn the berth.
Two years ago, two narrow losses saw the Cavs miss out on a glorious chance to make the provincial championships. This year, the team would not be denied and defeated Sutherland 2-1 in a thrilling overtime match to make history and earn a trip to the BC Championships in Kamloops at the end of this month. Coach Hodal's game report will appear shortly.
