THE Cap College women's soccer team is
Canada's best.
The Lady Blues claimed the Canadian Colleges Athletics Association
crown this weekend with a 2-0 win over Quebec's FX Garneau in the gold
medal championship game in Burnaby.
Kristina Roe and Sarah Regan both scored for Cap in the game.
"It was a very physical game," said head coach Doug Abercrombie of the
final tilt. "Much more physical than I expected."
It brought a successful end to an undefeated national tournament for the
BCCAA champs, who blanked the University of New Brunswick's Saint John
Seawolves 10-0 to open the event and staged a 2-1 win over Toronto's

AN appeal of lawsuit involving the "wrongful
birth" of a boy with Down's syndrome at Lions
Gate Hospital in 1991 will be heard by the
Supreme Court of Canada.
The appeal is based on whether the doctor's malpractice insurance or
"society's safety net" should cover the child's care after he becomes an adult.
The highest court in the country agreed last week to hear the appeal
launched by a lawyer representing the North Vancouver doctor in the case.
The doctor, Stanley Fred MorriU, died in 1998. His malpractice insurance
is covering the legal proceedings.
MorriU's lawyer Chris Hinkson was unavailable to press time.
