In a challenging season of indoor soccer, the Cochrane Lady Rangers finished their season with heads held high finishing 3rd place overall in Division 4B of the CWSA soccer league
For the first time, Cochrane was host to half of the regular season games at Spray Lakes Sawmills Family Sports Centre.
The Lady Rangers experienced the joys of success after dominating the standings in first place for all of 2008 while recording only a single loss in 9 games, although 2009 was a different story. The competition upped their game and pushed the Rangers to the wire. Recording 12 wins in 18 games overall the Lady Rangers were vying for a playoff spot to catapult them back into Division three, a position that has not been held since 2006.
Winning their final game of the season, the Lady Rangers beat the Blizzard Angels 3-2 at home in front of a boisterous Cochrane crowd. Sadly it proved too little too late as fierce rivals the NCU Wildcats recorded a 4-1 victory over the Crusaders to leapfrog the Rangers into second place by only one point, in the process, earning themselves a playoff game to challenge for promotion to Division 3.
With pride and confidence brimming, the Lady Rangers will now be focussing their attentions to pre-season training in preparation for the upcoming outdoor season that kicks off in May. The club is pleased to announce that they are entering a new Ladies team into Division 6 in response to the growing levels of interest in community sport in Cochrane. We wish the new Cochrane Lady Rangers 3 all the best in their quest for success!
