Taking the ball deep into the Blues zone, the team tried to hold it there to establish pressure and presence, but the Blues backline was just too good.
Their offence has been fairly standard, averaging just a single goal in each of their four games since the VIU explosion.
Goalkeeper Chantalle Bracken, whose shaky start was heavily exploited by the Mariners, was replaced by Alexa Gazzola.
The Douglas College squad is the only team the Blues have yet to beat.
No other play highlighted the Royals’ individual skill better than rookie forward Race Williams’ fantastic strike halfway through the second.
While ambitions of a National berth were still whispered about going into the weekend, they have all but disappeared going out of the weekend.
I found a spot on the team and I did well and I was confident, and I was playing more consistently than I ever had.
