With a 1-0 victory over the Fanshawe Falcons, the Algonquin Thunder men’s soccer team have found themselves back in a familiar position, the gold medal game of the Belairdirect Ontario Colleges Athletic Association Men’s Soccer Championship.

Fighting blustering winds and rain, the Thunder managed to capitalize on their best opening half advantage when midfielder/forward Paul Waigango Kihara bent a sharp angled shot from the right side of the Falcons goal with pinpoint accuracy to give the defending champions all the advantage they would need to advance.

Despite the weather, the Fanshawe Falcons played a solid game and will now play for the bronze medal which will take place Saturday at 12:00pm. They will have to wait to see who they will play between the battle of the GTA school as Humber faced Seneca in the final semi-final of the day.

The Algonquin Thunder continue their assault on the OCAA soccer and have now pushed their gold medal appearance to nine consecutive years with their victory today.

Algonquin will take to the field on Satuday at 6:00pm in an attempt to find their way back to the CCAA National Championship.
