Several Sooke Soccer Club youth teams played in Lower Island Soccer Association (LISA) Cup semifinals last weekend.
The U13 girls played in Juan de Fuca were up 2-1 until the last few minutes of play when JdF knocked a couple quick goals in to win 3-2. Coach Rob Oyler said it was a very exciting game that could have gone either way and was proud of his young team’s efforts.
