The Burnaby Canadians gutted out a 2-1 win over Gorge FC to win the B.C. Soccer Provincial B Cup in Victoria on Saturday.

Playing with just 13 players, the Canadians would need every single player to pull out the win in front of a Vancouver Island crowd of approximately 400 partisan fans.

Jennifer Morrison opened the scoring for Burnaby in the first five minutes, but had to leave the game directly after with a hamstring pull.

Gorge knotted the score in the 43rd minute, but player of the match Kate Seguin got the game-winner 22 minutes later.

With two more players lost to injury and the team's first red-card infraction in seven seasons, Burnaby held onto the lead with the no substitutions left on the player's bench.

Menina Col Angelo was a star in goal for the Canadians, making 15 saves.

It was also a proud moment for team coach Doug Wilson. "Everyone played their hearts out," he said.
