Antigonish, NS - Victoria Parkinson (Halifax,
NS) scored the game-winning goal in the 75thminute as the visiting Dalhousie Tigers
defeated the StFX X-Women 2-1 in AUS soccer action Sunday afternoon
at Oland Stadium.
Parkinson, from the top of the 18-yard box,
deposited a high shot over the outstretched right hand of X-Women
keeper Erin Visser (Whitby, ON). The junior striker converted a
nifty pass from Scarlet Smith (Wolfville, NS) to score the go-ahead
marker.
“They scored two great goals,”
Visser said after the match.
Visser made 11 saves for the blue and white,
including a sliding effort against Smith in the second half that
kept the match knotted at 1-1.
Subway player of the game Samantha MacDonald
(Brampton, ON) opened the scoring in the 15thminute for the Tigers, converting a pass
from striker Elise Bilodeau (Edmonton,
AB).
The X-Women, in front of a partisan crowd of
more than 300, scored the equalizer in the 25thminute from a corner kick, with Danielle
Makar (Calgary, AB) heading a boot off the left foot of fellow
freshman Elise Brennan (Brookside, NS) behind Dalhousie keeper
Rachel Hunt (Halifax, NS).
The Tigers (2-2-1) return to action Wednesday,
Sept. 24th, when they host the Saint Mary’s Huskies
(0-5-1) at 5 p.m. The X-Women (2-1-2) will host the UNB Varsity
Reds (4-0-1) Friday, Sept. 26that Oland Stadium, beginning at 5
p.m.
“We have to learn from our mistakes [for
next weekend] and continue to work hard,” Visser
said.
