Royals Get The Dub

Douglas Royals 3
Langara Falcons 2

The defending PACWEST champion Royals handed the Falcons their first loss of the season after a wild second half in which three goals were scored.
In the first half Taku Ota gave the Falcons a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute but it didn't last long. The Royals countered just five minutes later when Matteo Falcone scored to tie it at one. That was all the scoring in the first half as the defences and keepers seemed sharp.

Then in the second half "business picked up" as they say. First the Falcons broke the tie in the 60th minute as Athos Michellepis de Siqueira scored his second of the weekend, but again the lead didn't last long. Zachari Ouariti-Zerouali tied it again for the Royals just a minute later with his second of the weekend. Then with time winding down Riku Suga scored for the Royals in the 85th minute securing the victory, their second of the season. It was also his second tally of the weekend.

Keeper Jacob McCall made three saves in the win while Blake Charlesworth made five stops for the Falcons in the setback.
