It’s been a tough season for Burnaby Central’s senior girls’ soccer team, and it didn’t get any easier when they faced off against the second-place New Westminster Hyacks at home on Tuesday.
Despite a strong start for Central, whose Reesa Wright scored the game’s first goal at the 10-minute mark, it wasn’t enough to keep the Hyacks at bay.
The visitors came back in full force, scoring their first goal at the 31-minute mark to tie the game.
After the half, Central hammered the Hyacks’ back line in hopes of sneaking one past the goalie, but it was no use. The Hyacks managed to get two more shots into Central’s net before the end of the game, making the final score 3-1 for the visitors.
Central finished the season in last place with five losses. The girls will get a second chance to turn things around next week, when playoffs start. Central will take on third-place Burnaby South at home on April 30. Kick off is at 3:30 p.m.
