Saints Advance to OFSAA Quarter-Finals

Its a landmark day for the Thomas Aquinas boys soccer program.

For the first time ever, the Saints have qualified for the play-offs at the All-Ontario Single "a" championships.

The Saints earned a berth into the quarter-final round with a 2-2 draw with St. Patrick Secondary School from Toronto.

Patrick Van Belleghem scored on a penalty kick late in the game to secure the tie, while Tristan Argue added the other goal.

T.A. finishes second in its pool with a record of two wins and two ties  and now plays Kings Christian in the quarter-final round this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Beaver Brae won't be playing in the second round at the OFSAA double A championships.

The Broncos are winless in three games, after losing 3-0 this morning to St. Paul from Mississauga.

Beaver Brae plays one final game in the round robin this afternoon against Lester B. Pearson from Burlington.
