There were goals galore across both the men’s and women’s curtain-raising weekends in League1 BC.

The new League1 BC season is finally under way after four matches took place across the Men’s and Women’s Division in Matchweek One.

Evolution hold TSS Rovers

There were eight goals across both divisions as Evolution’s men’s and women’s teams tied 2-2 with TSS Rovers in their first games in League1 BC.

In the Women’s Division, there was a blistering start from Evolution away from home, with captain Alyssa Clark finding the net inside the first minute. What a way to make your mark in the competition.

The Rovers’ Maya Smith equalized after 14 minutes, though, before turning the game on its head through substitute Elyse Beaudry. Evolution made it level again with 13 minutes left to play with a goal from Sarah Caravatta.

In the Men’s Division, Evolution’s Dominic put them ahead twice. But both times title-holders TSS pegging them back, including one in the 94th minute. Goals from Michael Hennessy and Ben Hultin ensured they started the season unbeaten.

Mixed fortunes on Sunday

There was a home and away win as Vancouver Whitecaps Academy and Vancouver Rise Academy travelled to Altitude on April 6th.

It was an exciting matchup in the Men’s Division between the sides who finished second and third in the 2024 standings. Altitude’s half-time lead thanks to Thomas Budisa was cancelled out by Akiz Aguma six minutes into the second half.

Noel Poole made it 2-1 to the Whitecaps on 86’, moments before his red card in injury time. The academy team held on top the standings after Matchweek One.

There was also late action in the women’s match when Altitude’s Olivia Gomez secured a dramatic winner in a five-goal thriller.

Altitude had established a two-goal lead against the Rise; Hannah Bains put the home side ahead before a Rise own goal made it 2-0. Two goals in two minutes before half-time brought Vancouver back level, but they could not hold on to the point in the end.
