In a 0-0 draw this past weekend against the Mid Isle Mariners, Okanagan FC鈥檚 offensive masterclass of 29 shots on goal was not enough to earn a victory.
Out-shooting the Mariners by 23 shots, OKFC were looking to continue their two-game winning streak and continue to distance themselves from the three straight losses they had to begin the season.
Coach Andrew Stevenson said it鈥檚 important to stay positive despite missing out on the extra points from a win.
鈥淚t鈥檚 far from doom and gloom, in the last three games we have won two and have a draw in one,鈥� he said.
鈥淲e didn鈥檛 play badly, but we had a ton of chances to put the ball in the net, and our biggest disappointment was not being able to give the home crowd something to cheer about.鈥�
鈥淚t just wasn鈥檛 our day.鈥�
