The Quest University Kermodes womens soccer team were sent packing their bags early after being eliminated from the Pacwest soccer provincial quarter-finals by the Thompson Rivers University (TRU) WolfPack on Friday (Oct. 28).The two teams remained locked in a 2-2 draw after 120 minutes of action and TRU secured the win by beating the Kermodes 4-2 in the shootout.It's disappointing and sad because it's never a fun way to lose in penalty kicks, especially when you're up a goal and to have the tying goal come from a simple corner kick, Quest head coach Martina Franko said following the game. It's frustrating and sad for a team that's worked so hard and played so well.The Kermodes had a short lived 2-1 lead when Jamey Horth scored in the 80th minute but just two minutes later the WolfPack tied the game up. Earlier in the game, Quests Gellie Raguin-Licas opened the scoring in the 53rd minute but TRU answered back just seven minutes later.Quest can take some solace in the loss, as TRU went on to win the championship and the Kermodes proved to be their toughest task on the road to the title.Check the print edition of The Chief for more on this story.
