Medals At Senior Provincials

2012-03-28

The CRSC Women's Classic Premier soccer team went on the weekend of March 23rd to Edmonton in an effort to compete for provincial glory. The team had been preparing all season for the right to represent the south of the province at this tournament, which they did by placing second in their division.

The competition in Edmonton was intense and hard fought, but always on a fair and positive sportsmanlike level. When it was all done, the Cochrane Rangers earned a bronze medal with a tie, a loss, and a win for a total of 4 points. In comparison, the gold medal winner had 6 points from 2 wins and a loss, and the silver medal winner had 5 points from 2 ties and a win. These results indicate a very tight tournament where a lucky bounce here or there made a difference in the final standings.

The ladies who travelled to Edmonton were Joanne Daviduk, Nicole Angelozzi, Cecily Woorich, Sarah Tas, Karina Neil, Tania Schmidtke, Jackie Shier, Jill Uniacke, Sandra Rush, Heidi Packard, Melanie Martzoukos, Karen Georgacacos and Dena Sykes. Missing from the roster were Sheila Mehan and Janet Norman.

All can be pleased with the way they represented the Cochrane Rangers. The atmosphere at the tournament was great, and the harmony and support among the Ranger team members was first class!

Girls' Under-18 Provincials

2012-03-21

The Cochrane Rangers Girls' Under-18 team started the season as a mixed group of girls from Canmore, Bragg Creek, Cochrane, Calgary and Airdrie. It took a surprisingly small amount of time for the girls to get to know one another and get used to playing with new teammates. The team finished tier 3 a respectable 4th place. On to provincials, where a tough first game was followed by a very strong second outing to take game 2. Our final game was a hard fought match, but the breaks did not come our way and we ended up in the middle of the pack at provincials.

This team has made soccer fun. They were great to watch and great to be a part of. Through wins and losses the girls stuck together, supported each other and gave it their best. A huge thanks to coach Patrick Ryan and assistant coach Don Long. We can't wait for outdoor!
