Pinnacles FC and Thompson-Okanagan FC grad Bjorn Borren helped to a 3-1 win over Nova Scotia on Wednesday.
The first rainy day offered the team a chance to avenge their female counterparts with a 3-1 victory over Nova Scotia. The women鈥檚 team was knocked out of their tournament in a heartbreaking quarterfinals loss to the Maritimers last week, so the boys had extra motivation. With the win, BC secures first place in their pool and will play Alberta in the knockout round. That match will be played at 5:30 p.m.
