The Muskie boys’ soccer squad was in Winnipeg over the weekend for the annual St. John’s-Ravenscourt tournament, where they were eliminated in the ‘B’-side semi-final Saturday afternoon.
The black-and-gold fell 2-1 to Fort Richmond (Winnipeg), with Anniss Seid netting their lone goal.
Fort High had opened the tournament with a 2-0 over St. Paul’s (Winnipeg) on Friday afternoon thanks to goals from Dave Chambers and Brandon McGinnis and a shutout performance by keeper Scott Parsons.
Their other round-robin contest in Group ‘B’ saw the Muskies come out on the losing end of a dramatic 3-2 decision to Miles Macdonnell (Winnipeg).
The Buckeyes scored the game-winning goal in the dying moments of extra time after they were forced to play with 10 men.
Chambers scored his second goal of the weekend on a penalty kick while Jeff Gustafson notched the Muskies’ other goal against Miles Mac.
The Muskie boys will begin NorWOSSA play this Wednesday (May 4) when they host the Kenora Broncos at 10 a.m. before facing the Dryden Eagles at 4 p.m.
The Muskie girls also will open their regular season Wednesday, taking on the Broncos at 11:30 a.m., followed by a 5:30 p.m. clash against the Eagles.
In between the Fort High contests, the Kenora and Dryden squads will play one another, with the boys’ teams squaring off at 1 p.m. and the girls playing at 2:30 p.m.
