Nov 1, 2021 | 5:07 PM

John Paul II Collegiate wrapped up their soccer season over the weekend, as the senior boys soccer team took home a bronze medal at provincials in Yorkton.

The performance caps a pretty successful season for the Crusaders’ soccer team after also finishing first in the district last weekend on their home field at JPII.

The team took back-to-back wins at districts over Se-Se-Wa-Hum School 4-3 in extra time and Martensville 2-1 to initially punch their ticket to the provincial tournament.

At provincials in Yorkton this weekend, the Crusaders then fell to Yorkton 2-1 in extra time in their opening game before bouncing back in the bronze medal final to top Martensville 1-0 for the third-place prize.
