The North Mississauga Panthers spread six goals over fifty minutes on Saturday to hand the Aurora United FC women their third loss in four games.
\nAn unusual defensive breakdown was met by a lack of offense in a 6 \u2013 0 loss at St. Maximilian Kolbe field in Aurora, dropping the women to 4-6-0 on the year.
\n\u201cWe changed to a back three (in the second half) and we wanted to have a little more offence,\u201d said Aurora team official Peter Bulford.
\n\u201cWe were hoping to catch them in the first five to ten minutes and hopefully score a couple goals and get back into it. It didn\u2019t work out that way, but we did try to be more offensive.
\n\u201cWe wanted the wingbacks to get more involved and kept the two upfront. It just didn\u2019t transform for us, we weren\u2019t making proper passes and that is why it broke down for us.\u201d
\nAdding to their plight was the loss of star goaltender Patricia Koutoulas, who has helped Aurora to four clean sheets this season.
\n\u201cPatricia was injured.\u201d he added. \u201cShe took a ball in the face and showed some concussion symptoms so it was a good choice in that sense.\u201d
\nAurora faces their toughest challenge yet this season when they take on the league-leading Unionville Milliken SC (7-1-2) Saturday evening at Bill Crothers Turf Centre.
\nThe men experienced a similar fate the same day at the hands of a dynamic sibling duo, with Michael and Noah Pio combining for all six of Windsor TFC\u2019s goals in a 6 \u2013 1 final.
\nThe away squad was up 5 \u2013 0 before Michael Caguana was able to capitalize with his team-leading fifth goal of the year in the 68th minute.
\nDespite the loss, Aurora technical director Dave Di Placido said he liked what he saw from his team in the latter 45 minutes.
\n\u201cWe did create quite a bit more in the second half,\u201d said Di Placido.
\n\u201cI think we had two or three breakaways, a penalty shot, two or three free kicks around the box. We created more but we weren\u2019t happy with some of the goals we conceded, I think we could have done better defensively.\u201d
\n\u201cI don\u2019t think we handled the situation properly in a couple individual situations. It\u2019s something good that I think we can implement from time to time though, although it didn\u2019t work out today.\u201d
\nThe men remain in seventh place in the League 1 East division with a record of 1-9-1, and will face FC London (5-2-4) in an away match Friday evening.<\/p>\n
