The St. Thomas More Knights lost 2-1 to Seycove in AA high school senior girls' soccer provincial qualifying last Monday.

The Knights came back from a 2-0 deficit in the Burnaby/North Shore zone semifinal to cut the deficit by a goal five minutes from full time on a score by Chantelle Parra.

With a single minute still left on the clock, STM appeared to tie the contest, but the apparent goal was disallowed on a hand-ball call.

"The girls played hard, and I was extremely pleased with their efforts," said STM head coach Carlo Zavarise.

In AAA girls' provincial qualifying, Handsworth defeated Burnaby South 3-1 on Wednesday. Both teams made it to the provincials, with Argyle as host.
