Cougars secure playoff game in inaugural season
WOMEN'S SOCCER:
SAULT COUGARS vs CAMBRIAN GOLDEN SHIELD
SUDBURY – The Cougars have punched their ticket to the playoffs. Looking to ride the momentum from a thrilling win last week against Fleming, the lady Cougars were on the road for the last regular season game in Sudbury against Cambrian College. On a cold and windy day, it was tough to get going, but in the 39th of the first half forward Sarah Ferguson was able to get the Cougars on the board with a long shot that was able to get over Cambrian's keeper.
In the second half the Cougars had their chances but could not capitalize, and in the 78th minute Cambrian was able to get a shot by keeper Payden Schuurhuis in the top corner to tie the game. The game would end in a 1-1 tie. The tie help put the Cougars into the playoff round on Oct 19th. It has not yet been determined who they are playing, but making the playoffs in the Cougars inaugural season is a great accomplishment, one that the college and coaching staff are incredibly proud of.
