‘Brilliant memories:’ Capers return to site of U Sports soccer golden glory | SaltWire

Cape Breton Capers striker Kairo Coore fires a shot against the St. Francis Xavier X-Men during the AUS men's soccer championship final Saturday in Sydney. - JEREMY FRASER / SALTWIRE NETWORKJust the mention of Hillside Stadium in Kamloops, B.C., brings back sweet memories for Deano Morley.

The 2017 Capers was a talent-laden squad which featured future HFX Wanderers stars Cory Bent and Peter Schaale. “And I believe in the players we have right now. Many of our former players have reconnected and stayed involved with our team and are giving information back to the players. And I will go there telling stories for the boys, painting pictures in their mind. For the team that will walk away with the title in Kamloops, they’re going to have to go through some battles.

The Capers could be even stronger for when they host nationals next year. Only one player on their roster is in their fourth year. “Goals have been coming from everywhere. Players have been playing different positions. The assists are probably more than we’ve ever had from a combined group of players. They are sharing the workload, they’re playing for each other. Any coach in any sport knows what it feels like when you get that chemistry woven into the fabric of your program. It feels really good.”

The other quarter-final matchups include the No. 6 Toronto Metropolitan Bold versus the third-seeded UBC Thunderbirds and the No. 4 McMaster Marauders against the host and fifth-ranked Thompson Rivers WolfPack.Amelia Carlini, second from right, celebrates with her teammates after scoring in the first half against the Dalhousie Tigers during the AUS women’s soccer championship final Saturday in Wolfville.
