CapU Blues hot streak continues as they advance to CCAA Men’s Soccer National Championship Final

For the fifth time this season, the CapU Blues faced PACWEST rival, the KPU Eagles in a game that determined who would be playing for a national championship gold medal. The Blues came out of the gate quickly with Bruno Fieri-Marinho scoring in the 5^th minute and All-Canadian Kristian Yli-Hietanen netting one in the 7^th minute, giving the Blues an early lead 2-0. KPU's Binsaleh was able to convert a penalty kick to bring the Eagles within one, before Fieri-Marinho contributed his second goal of the game off a perfect free kick from Kaymar Amini.

The halftime break did not halt the Blues momentum at all as Yli- Hietanen scored in the 47^th minute and Lucien Kessler added one to the Blues lead to make the game 5-1 in the 65^th minute of play. The Blues were able to outlast a very tenacious Eagles squad to advance to the CCAA men's soccer gold medal game with a 5-1 victory.

Fieri-Marinho was awarded player of the game for the Blues.
