It was a tale of two teams last Saturday with the women’s indoor soccer team taking the spotlight with an impressive second place finish at the first tournament of the season.

For the men it was back to the drawing board as they failed to make it out of division play.

Teams from college and university level took part in Centennial College’s invitational tournament.

Women’s coach Vince Pileggi said the finals loss to the Durham Lords did not overshadow the positive momentum gained going forward.

“We want to be able to build and eventually win a gold medal at provincials,” he said.

Nilda Correia with three goals and Crystal Camillieri with two goals led the Hawks attack on offence.

The men’s team tried to reflect positively on a disappointing start to the tournament season.
After starting with three straight losses, they ended with a victory over Seneca.

Coach Germain Sanchez pointed out the importance of this tournament as a stepping stone, rather than a measuring stick of what this team can do.

He’s optimistic things can turn around.

“Hopefully we can get three or four more players who were not available to play this weekend. Getting in better shape is important, we have to take more shots and take more risks.”
