After Friday’s semi-final was
postponed to Saturday, the Blues
came out pumped for what was
to be a 6-0 thumping of Van-
couver Community College at
Swangard Stadium.

The first 25 minutes of the
game the teams were nervous,
but then Brad Trach put the
Blues on the board, scoring on a
rebound.

Five minutes later Russell Col-
lins scored on a long free kick
from Frank Lore.

The two combined again for a
third goal 10 minutes into the se-
cond half.

Midfielder Andy Viachos put
in the fourth goal on a solo effort
with Dino Condileaois adding the
fifth on a right wing pass from
Collins.

The final goal was notched by
George Hecimovic. Responsible
for the shut out was netminder
Craig Edwards.

Blues coach Joe lacobeliis said
VCC lost momentum after the
Blues put in the second goal.

“That allowed us to play at-
tacking soccer and a lot more
space with the ball. After the
third goal the game was pretty
much over.’”

The Blues will be leaving for
Calgary this afternoon to defend
its national title.
