Last minute goal gives Cougars win

WOMEN'S SOCCER 

GAME 1: SAULT COUGARS vs LOYALIST LANCERS

SAULT STE. MARIE - Saturday's game against the Loyalist Lancers may have been the best game yet for the first year Cougars. After Loyalist scored 3 quick goals in the 8th, 10th, and 12th minutes respectively the Cougars locked down defensively from that moment on and mounted a comeback.

 

It started with goalkeeper Payden Schuurhuis coming in as a replacement for starter Mikaela Caputo in the 13th minute. Schuurhuis was very effective making 13 saves in relief, two of which were spectacular diving saves to keep the Cougars within striking distance.

 

The offence then took over and was kick started by a penalty kick goal from Taryn Gazankas in the 44th minute who followed up with another goal again in the 81st minute to bring the score to 3-2. Despite the 2 goal performance by Gazankas and their best efforts to tie the game, the Lancers scored in the 84th minute and took the match with a final score of 4-2.

 

GAME 2: SAULT COUGARS vs FLEMING KNIGHTS

SAULT STE. MARIE - The Cougars were looking to improve upon their impressive second half play from Saturday's game against Loyalist into their Sunday game against the Fleming Knights. Mission accomplished.

 

The first half was incredibly even throughout and yielded a 0-0 score. The scoring started in the 50th minute by Sarah Ferguson on a beautiful strike into the top right corner that gave the cougars a 1-0 lead. The next goal came in the 75th minute by Fleming to tie the game at 1-1 which looked like it would stand up as a final. Que Alissa Gilmar. Gilmar who had been buzzing around the Fleming net all afternoon would score on a powerful shot in the 90th minute to give the Cougars the lead, and ultimately the win.

 

While the offence was strong all day long, so was the play by goalkeeper Payden Shuurhuis. Shuurhuis added an outstanding 20 save performance to anchor the defense and secure the 2-1 win for the Cougars who improve their record to 2-6 on the season.
