FC squads close out League 1 Ontario season"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>By Jake Courtepatte<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the book all but closed on the Aurora FC\u2019s sophomore League 1 Ontario seasons, both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s sides featured a squad of inexperienced newcomers for their final games of the season on Saturday.<br \/>\nThe Aurora men, marred in a two-month dry spell since early August, fielded mostly youngsters and future mainstays against Toronto Skillz FC in a battle of the East division basement.<br \/>\nToronto\u2019s goals at the 24th and 41st minutes gave the visiting squad a 2 \u2013 0 lead heading into halftime, before Aurora\u2019s Ruben Dos Santos buried his first semi-pro goal for the Aurora squad.<br \/>\nIt was all the offense Aurora could muster, however, as Toronto added another late in regulation and one more in extra time for a 4 \u2013 1 win.<br \/>\nThe men finish their second League 1 season with a record of 2-17-2, six points below their inaugural finish after losing some star power in the offseason.<br \/>\nAs for the women\u2019s side, Aurora was able to finish the season on a high note with eight points in their final five matches, including a closely-contested 1 \u2013 1 tie with Sanjaxx FC over the weekend.<br \/>\nAurora brought the offense early with Soumaya Bouak hitting the post just nine minutes in, before Bouak was robbed in close just minutes later.<br \/>\nEllie Hayes was finally able to break the Sanjaxx keeper at the 25-minute mark, scoring on a free kick.<br \/>\nThough Aurora held Sanjaxx shotless in the first half, a penalty kick was converted in the 53rd minute to tie the game, a score that would hold until the final whistle.<br \/>\nThe women finish the season in the middle of the League 1 table with a record of 9-9-2.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook
