LAVAL WOMEN – NUMBERS OF THE BEAST
20 mar.

An improbable late-season six-game winning streak landed them the sixth playoff seed. And they have scored six goals since to reach the FB2 Division Final.

Whatever faith you put in numbers, you can be sure Joga Bonita made believers of top dogs Black and Red and third-seed Red Socks, both of whom were blindsided by the possessed underdog in question. If FC Boisbriand were to ultimately suffer the same fate this Sunday, then consider me an occult Joga Bonita follower.

In other unbelievable news, FC Amazone find themselves in the FC2 final after blanking heavy favourites FC Blue Sky 1-0. The fifth-seeders now have a championship date with Queen of the World – a team they failed to beat in three regular season meetings.

Top seeds Lakeshore and the Pink Ladies, meanwhile, beat out their respective FA and FC1 runner-ups to bring home their championships. Little surprise there.

POTG: Joga Bonita’s Lisa Stock scored both goals to carry her bedeviled squad into a much-deserved final against Boisbriand.
