The Strikeforce hosted WSP on Tuesday in Selkirk, but things didn’t go as planned. Gareth Williams netted a hat trick and Troy Morison added a pair as WSP poured in six goals against the home side.
Devin Racicot and Ryan Coffin responded for Selkirk, but it wasn’t enough to match WSP’s red-hot offence. The match ended in a 6–2 win for the visitors, dropping the Strikeforce to 6-2-2 on the season.
The result also allowed WSP to move within two points of Selkirk, who now sit tied for second place with 20 points.
The rematch was scheduled for Monday night at Buhler Recreation Park in Winnipeg, with WSP as the home side. Due to press deadlines, the score was unavailable at press time.
Strikeforce return to Selkirk Recreation Complex on Friday for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff against Pescara FC.
