Capilano Blues (2-4) @ VIU Mariners (3-2-1) – Wednesday October 20, 3:30pm – Forrest Field | WATCH HERE
This afternoon’s make-up game features the second seeded VIU Mariners and fourth seeded Capilano Blues meeting in Ladysmith on the Island at Forrest Field.
The Mariners have lost two straight and their first place positioning, now two points back of the top seeded Douglas Royals. They haven’t won a game in the month of October and are looking to turn things around against Blues who are in a tailspin of their own. They have lost four straight and have only scored once this month.
Today’s meeting is the second of the season between these two schools. The Mariners won the first match-up 3-2 on September 26th which oddly enough was their last win.
A victory for the Mariners allows them to leapfrog the Royals for first place in the standings. The Blues meanwhile desperately need to win if they want to play in the post season. They are currently on the outside looking in, four points back of the Langara Falcons for the final playoff spot with two games to play following today’s match-up.
