WFC2 at McLeod ParkA pair of late goals helped Whitecaps FC2 pick up their first victory of the young season.
Leading 1-0 after a goal from Deklan Wynne in the 13th minute, the young 鈥機aps got late goals from Andy Thoma (86th minute) and Ben McKendry (stoppage time) to knock off the visiting Settle Sounders FC2 by a 3-0 score.
The United Soccer League game was played on Saturday afternoon at 91原创鈥檚 McLeod Athletic Park.
Sem de Wit, last year鈥檚 team MVP, set up the first goal, stepping up in the midfield and playing a through-ball to Terran Campbell. Campbell鈥檚 cross deflected to Wynne in the box and he calmly finished with a side-footer to the far post.
Thoma doubled the lead with a diving header off a cross from Gloire Amanda at the back post and McKendry added the insurance mark with a heavy strike from the right side of the box.
This was the first of six games WFC2 will play in 91原创, with the other 10 games at UBC鈥檚 Thunderbird Stadium.
