SOCCER ROUNDUP: Cavalry continue hot run; Wild lose in Ottawa
Article content Cavalry FC is now 10 straight games without a loss and counting. Article content The reschedule match — postponed from a day earlier when a storm ravaged Calgary — saw continued dominance by the home side to push it further up the table in the 2025 Canadian Premier League campaign. Article content 'Confidence was high — we're a good squad,' said Cavalry forward Ali Musse, in the moments after Sunday's victory. 'We came prepared for this game, and I thought we did what we wanted to do. Article content Article content The decision lifts Cavalry closer to top spot in the CPL. Article content Its 6W-2L-3D record is good enough for third place with 21 points, four back of league-leading Atlético Ottawa (7-1-4) and two behind of second-runner Forge FC (6-0-5). Article content 'We're still hungry — I think we're still building,' Musse said. 'Obviously, it's good that we haven't lost (in 10 games). We're in good form right now, but we're still hungry.' Article content It was clean-sheet by superstar goalkeeper Marco Carducci and an early goal from Musse that decided the match on the scoreboard. Article content Musse's 13th-minute marker was a beauty, as he took a long-range pass into the penalty area from teammate Sergio Camargo off his chest and chipped the ball in on the half-volley with the outside of his left foot. Article content Deft, to be sure. Article content 'I made the run (into the box), and Sergio played an amazing ball in,' Musse said. 'The rest of it … I just went for it.' Article content Article content 'What we've got to do is to dislodge their block is move them from one side to the other and to other, so that the pieces start coming out,' added Cavalry gaffer Tommy Wheeldon Jr., recalling the goal. 'And what Sergio did quite well once we moved the ball to his side is recognized a gap between (defenders) for Musse coming in the other side. Article content 'It was a great pass, and Musse did brilliant to control it and finish it.' Article content It was his fifth goal of the CPL season, tied for the team-high with Tobias Warschewski. Article content At the other end, Carducci wasn't busy but was sharp when called upon, jumping high to grab a couple of would-be goals by the visitors on a few occasions. For the Cavalry captain, it was his fourth clean-sheet in 11 contests.

North America's largest dragon boat festival wraps up in False Creek
Hundreds of racers from around the world gave it their all in False Creek this weekend for the annual Vancouver Dragon Boat Festival—the largest event of its kind in North America. In total, 222 teams from nine countries participated in more than 100 races Saturday and Sunday. 'Despite the rain, everyone's in high spirits because this is what a lot of teams train an entire year for. They've flown in from around the world to race here,' said Dominic Lai with Dragon Boat BC. He explained that dragon boating made its Canadian debut at Expo 86, when members of Vancouver's Asian community brought the vessels over from Hong Kong for a demonstration race, and the sport took off. The first Dragon Boat Festival was in 1989. Sunday's festivities included a specialty cup competition for breast cancer survivors. 'I think most of us joined because we wanted to sort of get back into shape after breast cancer, but also to change the face of breast cancer, (show) that we can be active,' said Debra Chelsey, a member of a team from Calgary. 'We're living and we're strong, we're getting healthy,' said her teammate, Angela Reither. 'We have such great spirit and we're thriving. It shows our strength.'
