It isn’t just the weather that put a chill in the Royal City Riot’s outlook last week.
The Coquitlam Black Ice counted a late goal to escape with a 1-0 win in Metro Women’s under-21 soccer action.
Manju Hoonjan stopped five shots and kept Royal City in the game until the late tally. The Riot’s Sarah McCarthy fired two shots at the Ice net. Also contributing offensively were Ivy Chao and Simran Dhillon.
The Riot play host to the Central City Synergy, 6 p.m. at Queen’s Park East.
Fans attending the game are invited to bring a donation for the local food bank or the team’s family, adopted through the 2015 Caring Neighbour Program.
