OFC Claim 3 pts in Season Opener
With only 1 point to the programs name last year Okanagan FC, although competitive, just couldn’t find a win. In contrast, the 2012 season is off to a flying start. Facing Abbotsford SC on the road OFC did well to come together and fight for the 3 points. A much quicker game than the previous two exhibition matches OFC took a bit to settle into the match but had some great spells of play that had Abbotsford hemmed in. Kirsten Dodds broke the deadlock in the 25th minute with a well placed strike. OFC carried the 1-0 lead into the half.
Second half Abbottsford came out strong and a miscue on the back line in the 1st minute of the half left a wide open Abbotsford player at the top of the box – resulting in a tying goal. Match continued to be hard fought, back and forth until the 75 min when Marissa Klees sliced the ball past the Abbotsford keeper for the go ahead goal.
