By The Nelson Daily Sports
The L.V. Rogers Bombers once again rode the shutout goalkeeping of Tara Yowek to stop the Stanley Humphries Rockers 3-0 in West Kootenay High School Girl’s Fieldhockey playoff action Tuesday at Pass Creek Park in Robson.
Sarah Wade, Allie Zondervan and Paige Mansveld, on a penalty stroke when a Stanley Humphries players sat on the ball at the goal line, scored goals for the Bombers.
“There was no snow on the field but (field) was covered in water and puddles and made for a very ugly game,” said Bomber coach Val Gibson.
“The ball would not travel at all and the players were very wet. The sticks splashed water like crazy.”
LVR now advances to meet the Rossland Royals in the West Kootenay Zone Final Thursday at Pass Creek.
The winner advances to the B.C. High School Girl’s Fieldhockey Championship next month in Burnaby.
The loser has one more shot to reach the provincial tournament through a wild-card game Tuesday, October 30 against Fraser Valley No. 2 in Kelowna.
