In what may be the final game ever to be played on the current varsity soccer field, the men's team were looking to wish it farewell with a win yesterday against the Niagara Knights in their final game of the season. The current soccer field will see a new facelift for next season as construction will hopefully be complete on a new $4.8 Million Soccer Complex.

 

Unfortunately for the Royals, things didn't go as planned. Despite dominating play througout most of the game, the men continued their trend of their inability to finish chances that they should. After a couple great chances early in the game, the Royals were caught sleeping on defense resulting in a tap in goal for Niagara and a 1-0 lead. The Royals would never recover and Niagara would add another on a penalty kick midway through the second half to steal the game.

 

The men's team now has a few months off before they begin preparing for their indoor season set to begin in January. The men's outdoor team finished with a 3-7-2 record and 11 points for a 4th place West division finish.
