Kamloops, BC - The weather was appropriate for the Kamloops Heat U-21 Women's soccer program this weekend. They were red hot, and so were the temperatures. The Heat proved it was 'home sweet home' against both Chilliwack and Richmond in the Pacific Coast Soccer League Womens Reserve Action.

Following a 4-0 shutout of Chilliwack on Saturday (May 23), The Heat took to the pitch at Hillside Stadium and captured their third straight victory of the young season. This time, the score was 4-1.

The Heat scored the games first goal when Danielle Fauteux scored her fifth goal in three matches, getting help on it from another member of the TRU WolfPack women's team: Jessie Lebert. But Richmond tied it up before the first half was over on a defensive error.

"We dominated the first half," said Heat head coach Tom McManus. "In the first 10 to 15 minutes we missed a few great chances."

In the second half, McManus changed his strategy going to a 4-3-3-. "The players struggled so my experiment didn't work the way I had hoped."

Kelli Chamberlain scored a pair of goals for the Heat in the second half. Val Goddard (forward, TRU) assisting on the first goal, Alanna Bekkering on the second. Goddard added the fourth Heat marker.

"I thought both Kelli and Val had strong games for us," McManus added.

For the second straight match, Shannen Meyer (Kamloops, TRU), usually a defender or midfielder was in the nets.

The Heat are now 3 and 0 on the season and visit the Pinnicales in Pentiction next Saturday (May 30). Kick off time is 230 pm at Kings Park.
