Freezers Narrowly Lose in Westlake's Managerial Debut

FC Whitehorse lost 2-1 in their match this week on the road against Toronto Treviso. The Freezers led 1-0 at halftime after a goal in the 44th minute by  Virgilio Rentería, but gave up a pair of goals in the second half to lose the match. Whitehorse had the same number of shots as Treviso, 17, and actually had more shots on goal than the home side.

It was the first match in charge for interim manager Corwyn Westlake, and despite only inheriting this job earlier this week, he made a pretty significant tactical change. The 5-3-2 formation that was a fixture of Oros Bala's managerial tenure has given way to a classic 4-4-2.

After the match, the new manager was encouraged by the result, but still a bit disappointed. "It was a tough match to be sure" said Westlake. "Being up at half does make it sting a bit, but it was a good outing overall by the players. We're going to keep working at it and see if we can't get a better result soon."

Whitehorse hosts Canadian National Football Club next week who, despite sitting in 5th place in the league, suffered a big 4-0 defeat at home against Swamp Dragons FC.
