Oak Bay HighB次元官网网址檚 keeper didnB次元官网网址檛 let a thing by her as the senior girls soccer team claimed the Island title.
Izzy Down and her teammates kept the competition at bay with a clean sheet for the entire Island championship that wrapped May 17 in Nanaimo.
The team that won the city title the week before faced off and defeated teams from Cowichan and StellyB次元官网网址檚 secondary before downing Nanaimo District Secondary School Tuesday morning to get to the finals.
The final game at Islands proved to be a match theyB次元官网网址檇 seen before, said co-coach Kate Baker.
For the fourth time this season the girls faced SaanichB次元官网网址檚 Reynolds Secondary, and defeated them for the third time.

Abby Watterson scored the lone goal in the 1-0 win and Down was called on for a penalty kick save during regulation time.
Baker said the three captains, Grade 12 students Davin Fisher, Jade McKee and Ella Hayes, had fantastic tournaments. All three have played on the senior team since Grade 9.
B次元官网网址淭heyB次元官网网址檙e a big part of our team, great leaders, we rely on them quite a bit,B次元官网网址� Baker said.
The first-place finish qualifies Oak Bay to play at AAA provincials in Surrey from June 1 to 3.
B次元官网网址淵ou always want to come out of your zone ranked No. 1, it should give you a better draw for provincials,B次元官网网址� Baker said.
While the top two teams qualify for provincials, Reynolds must still face NDSS in a challenge match. Because third-place Nanaimo did not face the Saanich school during the tournament, the rules allow them to challenge for the second-place position.
