Blues men need wins in final homestand

Capilano soccer squad one point out of a playoff spot despite horrible start to season

The Capilano University soccer teams will play their final home games of the 2014 season this weekend and the Blues men will be looking to continue their furious final playoff push.

The men started the season in a huge hole, losing their first five games — including a forfeited win due to the use of a suspended player — before winning three and tying one of their next six games to pull within one point of a playoff spot. On Saturday the Blues will host Quest — the team sitting in a tie for the fourth and final playoff spot, one point ahead of Capilano — before taking on first place Vancouver Island University on Sunday. The season will then come down to two final road games played against Langara Oct. 18 and Douglas Oct. 19.

The Blues women are in tough with five points — all coming on ties — through 11 games, placing them nine points out of the playoffs with four games left.

This weekend's kickoffs at Capilano are scheduled for 1 p.m. for the women on Saturday with the men to follow at 3 p.m., and then noon Sunday for the women with the men starting at 2 p.m.
