The Whitecaps FC Academy sides are setting the standard after the first four matchweeks, sitting atop both the Men’s and Women’s Division standings.

The men’s side defeated Burnaby FC 4-2 on Wednesday before recording a 2-0 win over Rivers FC; Matteo Samori was on the scoresheet in both games.

The women’s team recorded a 2-0 victory of their own over their Burnaby hosts before netting five past Rivers on the weekend. Kierra Blundell scored three of Whitecaps’ goals in Matchweek Four and is currently the top scorer across all League1 BC competition with seven goals.

Both sides recovered from those defeats on Victoria Day against Unity FC. The men’s team were on the right side of a 3-2 scoreline with Ali Azarminoo netting the winning goal 12 minutes from time, and Jade Mitchell scored her second of the season with a winner in the third minute of added time, securing a 1-0 win for Altitude.
