— The Tri-S Div. 5 mens soccer team is still in the hunt for promotion into Div. 4 play as Manitoba Major Soccer League regular season action winds down.The top two teams from the division after regular season play will be promoted at the start of the next season. Tri-S currently sits in fourth place with a 12-4-1 record and 37 points following a 2-2 draw against Les Gaulois Wednesday night.Earlier in the week Tri-S rebounded from an Aug. 27 3-1 loss to league-leading Sparta F.C. with a 4-0 blanking of the St. James Saints. K.C. Klym scored twice and Chris Spicer and Jeremy Burda each added markers in Tuesday’s victory.Sparta F.C. sits atop the division with 52 points, followed by Croatia United at 43 points and the Dawson Trail Bandits with 40 points.Tri-S plays Granite United Sept. 6 on the road before returning to Selkirk for a Sept. 9 tilt against the St. James Saints.The Tri-S Div. 2 mens team, meanwhile, is tied for fourth place with a 9-8-2 record and 29 points. With just a few games left in the season the team won’t be able to qualify for promotion but is looking to position itself for the playoffs.Last week Tri-S dropped its game against division leaders F.C. Lusitania by a 3-2 score. Kelly Kowalchuk opened the scoring for Tri-S but Lusitania responded with three quick goals to start off the second half. Chris Anjos buried an Ivar Helgason cross to make the score 3-2, but that was as close as Tri-S would get.The team had Ragazzi up next on its schedule with a Thursday night game in Winnipeg. The score was not available before press time.
