Finishing the regular outdoor season with 8 wins, 4 loses and 2 ties and having the highest goals for/against average in the Premier division enabled the ladies to represent CWSA as the second place Southern Alberta team. The first game of the tournament saw a clean win of 2-1 over Edmonton's number one team, All The Rage. With a slight rain delay and resuming play on soggy fields in game two against Calgary's number one team the BMW Eagles, the ladies had to settle for 0 - 0 tie but an advancement nonetheless to the Gold Medal game.
In the Gold Medal match against Edmonton Polonia, the ladies outplayed the opposition and clearly dominated the game. A beautiful top corner goal by Polonia early in the first half saw the score remain at 1 - 0 and the final match resulted in the silver medal awarded to the Lady Rangers. To no one's surprise, the Overall Fairplay award was also earned proving once again that the Cochrane Lady Rangers are both respected and admired.
The team extends their thanks to Coach Rob, their sponsors; Cochrane Dodge, Gunther Schutterle, the Cochrane Rangers Soccer Club and their families. The ladies are looking forward to the Indoor soccer season where they have been promoted to the Classics Major division.
