FC falls to Durham for second straight loss"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>By Jake Courtepatte<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A gaping hole in the Aurora FC women\u2019s roster left the semi-pro soccer team with a 3 \u2013 1 loss to Durham at the Pickering Soccer Complex on Saturday.<br \/>\nWith the absence of team-leading scorer Sarah Stratigakis, Aurora was blanked in the first half while allowing a goal just before the whistle to head to break down 1 \u2013 0.<br \/>\nTwo more Durham goals at the 49 and 62-minute marks dug the hole deeper for the visiting squad, who managed to get on the board in the 74th-minute thanks to Markela Beljeri\u2019s first of the season.<br \/>\nThe loss was the second in a row for the young Aurora squad, who strung together three wins throughout the month of June in three straight clean sheets.<br \/>\nHolding steady in the standings at eighth place with a record of 3-5-0, Aurora will look to climb the ladder when they host the last place Sanjaxx Lions at Highland Park in Aurora on Saturday.<br \/>\nGame time is set for 4 p.m.<br \/>\nThe men\u2019s side, whose Friday night matchup with ProStars FC of Brampton was postponed, return to action immediately following the women\u2019s match in a tough meeting with the 8-0-2 Sigma FC.<br \/>\nHolding a record of 1-7-1 good for seventh place in the eight-team East division, the men have been left with a clean sheet in their last two matches.<br \/>\nFor stats and schedules, visit www.league1ontario.com.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24
