Men's Soccer forces tie against Fleming
MEN'S SOCCER
SAULT COUGARS vs FLEMING KNIGHTS
The male Cougars wanted to put on a show in their final home game of the year on Sunday. They couldn't have asked for a better start as they quickly got out in front in just the 5th minute of the game courtesy of a goal from Aiden McBurney. After a free kick by Brett Davie was stopped by the Fleming keeper, McBurney potted the rebound in front of the net for the 1-0 lead.
Fleming would respond with a goal of their own in the 19th minute and again in the 59th minute on a difficult ball played back to goalkeeper Tyler Davie that found its way in the net. Fleming was able to enjoy the 2-1 lead all too briefly as 30 seconds later in the 60th minute Corey Conforzi and Connor Tait worked a text book give and go allowing Tait to score the tying goal.
Despite a late push by the Cougars who had a couple quality chances to take the lead late and secure the win the ball was kept out and cleared by Fleming and the game finished in a 2-2 tie. The tie leaves the Cougars record at 0-6-1 for the season.
