The Niverville High School Panthers made the soccer zone championships look easy, winning both the boys and girls banner, defeating Gabrielle-Roy in both matches.
The playoffs were hosted inside Niverville’s Hespler Park Oct. 3.
The boys match was scoreless through the first half, and a single goal was all that was needed for the Panthers to advance. Niverville also defeated Landmark 1-0 in a semi-final match earlier in the day to advance to the final.
Gabrielle-Roy defeated Niverville 3-1 in exhibition play earlier this year.
The girls final had much less drama, with the Panthers striking in the first half, and appearing to dominate possession in a 2-0 victory.
Niverville finished league play 5-0, defeating Green Valley/Ecole Heritage 5-0 to advance to the final. They’ve only conceded two goals so far this year, in a 3-2 victory over Gabrielle-Roy Sept. 24.
The Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association A-AAA soccer provincials are take place beginning Oct. 11, hosted by Minnedosa Collegiate.
The Steinbach Regional Secondary School Sabres are a AAAA school, and their competitive season is in the Spring.
